WHEN he signed a new deal last month, Alejandro Garnacho paid tribute to Manchester United’s senior players for keeping him grounded.
Garnacho singled out Argentina compatriot Lisandro Martinez, who has been a father figure for him, while others, like Bruno Fernandes and Casemero, have helped to guide him.

Chants of ‘Viva Garnacho’ – modified from the original song saluting Cristiano Ronaldo – rang out around the Theatre of Dreams as the dynamic young forward prepared to come on. Garnacho duly delivered, sealing the game in added time with a composed finish, then hurling his shirt into the air as he basked in the tumultuous outpouring of adoration and acclaim.
