Alejandro Garnacho has caught the eye at Manchester United following an excellent season with the youth squad during the 2021-22 season. The 17-year-old attacker played a vital role in guiding Manchester United to the FA Youth Cup last season. Garnacho scored seven goals in six FA Youth Cup games, including scoring twice in the final against the Nottingham Forest U-18 side in a 3-1 win.

It is worth mentioning that Alejandro Garnacho also replicated Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic "Siuuu" celebration during the final of the FA Youth Cup.

Alejandro Garnacho also made his first-team debut last season. The 17-year-old winger made two Premier League appearances against Chelsea and Crystal Palace towards the end of the season.

The talented forward also received a surprise call-up to the Argentina national team back in March. The youngster did not earn his first full international cap but was fortunate enough to be part of the squad containing Lionel Messi.

Alejandro Garnacho definitely has a bright future ahead of him. Manchester United fans will be hoping that new manager Erik ten Hag utilizes his talents next season.
