Alvaro Fernandez, a loanee from Manchester United, has two assists in his previous three matches and is performing well for Preston North End.
The Spanish full-back has established himself as a crucial member of a Preston team that is now vying for Premier League promotion.
He has put up an excellent season for the Lilywhites. He has six assists in 34 games so far, but he has also excelled defensively, putting Preston in a strong position going into the final few games of the season.
He's a terrific talent at the age of 20, and Erik ten Hag's plans for him for the upcoming season are unclear after his successful loan at Preston.
The young left-back, who has excelled at the Championship level, should really move up to the Premier League, but whether he does so with or without Manchester United seems to be the question.
This year, United hasn't really cared much about the left-back position. The Red Devils now have two capable rotational players thanks to the Feyenoord purchase of Tyrell Malacia and the dependability of longtime employee Luke Shaw, who recently signed a new contract.
This indicates that the Spaniard isn't really in ten Hag's plans, although a loan transfer to another Premier League team is certainly a possibility.
A second season in the Premier League would then be necessary to determine whether Fernandez would be a reliable starter at Old Trafford. However, a solid preseason performance might improve his case. Last season, he did not have the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities because he was loaned out before the tour.
He most certainly have a great deal of potential, and we're eager to see what the young man's future holds.
Meanwhile, in an interview back in March, Alvaro Fernandez has been playfully told by Preston North End defender Bambo Diaby that he needs to move back to Deepdale for the upcoming season.
The 20-year-old ALvaro Fernandez played the entire season on loan from Manchester United to Preston North End.
The Spaniard has adapted well to Ryan Lowe's system as a left wing back and has earned important first-team experience. Fernandez is playing senior football for the first time, and he should be extremely proud of how well-prepared he is.
Alvaro Fernandez has now been warned by North End teammate Bambo Diaby that Preston North End will undoubtedly pose the question. Bambo Diaby can easily converse with Fernandez in Spanish because he was born in Senegal but relocated to Catalunya at the age of four.
Since not all members of the Preston North End squad speak Spanish well, this has helped the two develop a bond.
According to a recent interview with Lancs Live, Bambo Diaby wants Alvaro Fernandez to stay at Deepdale for another season but is deferring to the United star in making that choice.
However, Bambo Diaby jokingly warned Fernandez that he knows where he resides and that if the two don't stay friends after this season, he will "kill" him.
“I don’t know, honestly,” said Diaby. “Because, if it was for me, I want to still play with him – of course! He is a very good player and I think everyone would want him in their team."
"He has a lot of quality and is a very nice guy. I have a very good relationship with him, especially, but it is his future and I think he needs to decide that. He will need to talk with the managers, his agent and everything and make his decisions.”
“If he does not I kill him. So, he decides; I know where he lives and know everything about him, so…” he added.
Alvaro Fernandez has proven to be a serious attacking threat for Preston North End this season with two goals and six assists in all competitions for Preston North End.
Now that the season is almost over, Preston North End only have eight games left before the summer transfer market opens. Preston North End would undoubtedly adore having Fernandez return for another season, but another Cameron Archer scenario is possible.
Last season, while on loan at North End, Archer made such an impression that rival teams began to show interest. As a result, he ultimately left Preston North End and joined Middlesbrough.
Another transfer would make sense for Fernandez, 20, as he might not be in United's first team plans for the upcoming campaign.
