Alejandro Garnacho needs no introduction to Manchester United fans. In fact, the Argentine has emerged into a fan favourite over the last few seasons.
Granted, his incredible acrobatic goal last season helped to make him a household name but unlike many others who tried, Garnacho actually built on the momentum and has become Man United's best player currently.
Garnacho's efforts in Manchester and indeed the world are not just recognised by Man United fans. Garnacho was one of two Man United players (alongside Kobbie Mainoo) to be nominated for the 2024 Kopa Trophy. So, he really is living the dream right now.
It is easy to forget that Garnacho is still just a young player but he reminded everyone, with a humble throwback to his childhood.
Alejandro Garnacho posts emotional 2016 throwback featuring Paulo Dybala
Alejandro Garnacho quoted a post on X (formerly Twitter) which featured Garnacho wearing a Paulo Dybala jersey in 2016. Fast forward eight years and Garnacho is assisting Paulo Dybala for Argentina, the greatest footballing nation in the world.

Garnacho is hungry to achieve. This is one of his best personality traits. That said, hailing from Argentina, he also has that natural talent when it comes to having the ball at his feet. Passion for the game and natural skill present a nice cross-section which Man United fans will gladly foster.
Garnacho is yet to play the full 90 minutes in any of Man United's opening three Premier League games. However, he did play a key role off the bench in their opening match against Fulham, assisting Joshua Zirkzee's first Man United goal late in the match.
Man United fans are sure that when Garnacho is back to full match fitness, the attack will begin to look more fluid with him involved. After all, they are wasting too many chances currently, leading the Premier League for most big chances missed.
It's good that Garnacho is keeping up his confidence on international duty. Erik ten Hag can only hope that Garnacho is not added to the growing pile of injuries at Old Trafford.
