What Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe had to say about Manchester United's Alvaro Fernandez ahead of potential loan move

The 19-year-old is available for loan from the Red Devils this summer and did not travel for their pre-season camp.

Formerly of Real Madrid, the Spaniard would fill a gap in Lowe’s squad having said that he wanted to sign another left wing back this summer after securing former United man Robbie Brady.

Lowe was seen pitchside with the potential signing, though nothing is done yet on the deal and Fernandez is seemingly weighing up his options whilst taking in Deepdale.

Lowe told the Lancashire Post: “We've tracked Alvaro Fernadnez for some time and he was here with his family today watching us play - hopefully we've been good enough and he's been impressed enough for him to say yeah, he's like to join us.

"Until that we can't say much about it, he wanted to come and see it, hopefully we can have some news over the next few days.

"When you come to the stadium, I was speaking to him on the pitch, and you show him the facilities - who wouldn't want to play here?

"We've got to make sure it's right for him and us and if it's right then we'll do it.

"He wanted to come and see us and how we play and how we go about our business.

"Hopefully we can get something sorted. I'm not sure about other interest, it's just about what we do.

"Ultimately it's a case of hopefully he like us and we like him.”
