Of course, Alejandro Garnacho has shared United’s dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo. The 19-year-old has also played with CR7 for Manchester United. It is probably the reason why fans have reacted differently after seeing this image of the Red Devil’s emerging player.
The left winger has recently been called up to the Argentina squad for games against Ecuador and Bolivia. Though his recent outings in the league weren’t his best, this national call-up might be a way for him to get himself back into Erik ten Hag’s team. His fellow United teammate, Lisandro Martinez, has also been included in the squad.

Garnacho became part of the Manchester United Under-18 setup in 2020. In 2022, he became part of the United’s first team set-up. When it comes to the Premier League season 2022-2023, the winger made a total of nineteen appearances for the Red Devils, with three goals and two assists registered in his name. The Madrid-born player has so far played in two matches for United in the season 2023-2024, with no goals or assists to his tally.
When Alejandro Garnacho confused the fans with his dual liking for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
Alejandro Garnacho wished Lionel Messi on his thirty-fifth birthday through an Instagram post. The Manchester United player, used an image of him with Messi, captioning it with the goat sign. As the player himself aspires to represent the Argentina National Soccer Team, it is quite clear that the youngster idolizes Lionel Messi. However, there have been debates among the fans about whether Garnacho admires Ronaldo more than Messi.
Fans know the fact that Garnacho holds CR7 very high on his list and is a big fan of the Portuguese, having been with Ronaldo in the United set-up. So, the goat caption under his picture with Messi surely left the fans in a pickle. One can be content with the fact that everyone in the soccer world is a fan of both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and so is Manchester United’s emerging star Alezandro Garnacho.
