Garnacho, 18, opened his Manchester United account to give Erik ten Hag's side a 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad in Spain. Frustratingly for the visitors, that wasn't enough for them to top their Europa League group and they now face a tough play-off. The Argentina youth international's maiden goal was assisted by Ronaldo, which is a dream come true. Garnacho views the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, 37, as his "idol" and fantasised about following in his footsteps when he joined United in September 2020. Garnacho picked United ahead of Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on leaving Atletico Madrid as a 16-year-old. The emerging talent was born in Madrid and there were fears a move to Los Blancos could cause friction due to their fierce rivalry with Atletico. Newspapers reports at the time suggested Garnacho's idol was Ronaldo, but the legendary forward wasn't on United's books back then. He was still a Juventus player and few critics backed him to complete an emotional return to Old Trafford in August 2021. As such, Garnacho wouldn't have imagined Ronaldo setting up his maiden goal. It's a remarkable story, with the youngster confirming his love for the veteran on Thursday. "18 years and 125 days dreaming of this moment," wrote Garnacho. "Thanks idol, Cristiano."
