Manu Sanchez continues to grow in Osasuna. And he is doing it at the stroke of assistance. The player on loan from Atlético de Madrid has taken over the ownership of the rojillo team from Jagoba Arrasate and his performance is being closely followed by the Metropolitan for next season.
On Tuesday, before the Cadiz, the rojiblanco canterano put a delicious serve with his left foot to Budimir, who headed the ball into the net. Uncheck, perfect control and measured center of Manu Sanchez, who already has four goal passes with Osasuna, where he arrived in January due to the lack of opportunities with Simeone. It is the fifth assist of the season, because with Atlético he already gave another to Luis Suarez in Balaídos, in 16 games played.
The growth of the 20-year-old left-back is beyond question. These months in Pamplona are coming to him like a glove to continue progressing as a footballer and in Madrid they are aware of this. It is no coincidence that, before his loan to Osasuna was made official for the remainder of the season, Atlético extend their contract until 2025.
They count on him in the Metropolitan for the future, and although he must return to the mattress discipline to do the preseason, the truth is that from the sports management they see with very good eyes the possibility that he will be transferred another year so that he continues to accumulate minutes and experience in the First division.
In this sense, there is the possibility that their assignment in Osasuna will be extended for another season, where they are delighted with the performance of Manu . Something that is mutual, because the footballer, in addition to improving as a professional, is also growing on a personal level.
