The Argentine winger made it clear that Lionel Messi is not his greatest idol.
The Argentine winger made it clear that Lionel Messi is not his greatest idol.

Alejandro Garnacho is back in England and has already joined Manchester United's training sessions this Sunday, July 16. The young footballer, who has just made his debut with the Argentine National Team on the Asian tour, ended his vacation and is working to establish himself as a starter in Erik ten Hag's eleven for the new season.

Now, just before returning to the ring, his brother Roberto published a video in which they are both seen playing with a ball at night in a relaxed manner. However, what he did not know is that some fans would brand his brother a traitor for wearing the Al-Nassr shirt with Cristiano Ronaldo's '7'.

Although some fans criticize him that he should be a fan of Messi before CR7, it is known that Garnacho grew up admiring the Portuguese and his fanaticism increased when he had him as a teammate in the Red Devils. In any case, Garnacho has also shown his idolatry for the Flea and he showed it on his last birthday by hiring two people with dwarfism to bring his cake: one he dressed as Cristiano and the other as Lionel.

Garnacho will use another number at Manchester United

One of the peculiarities of the return of the 19-year-old winger to practice was that, unlike the rest of his teammates, his clothing did not have a number. This makes it clear that he will abandon the number 49 for next season, although he will not be able to inherit Ronaldo's number 7, since it was given to Mason Mount.
