Manchester United’s man of the moment has not let the fact he was overlooked for Argentina’s World Cup squad get him down if his most recent performance was anything to go by
It was an incredible finish to a rollercoaster week for wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho.
Argentina starlet Garnacho missed out on the World Cup squad but then made his point with the 93rd-minute winner in true Manchester United fashion. Garnacho, 18, stepped off the bench to become United’s last-gasp saviour in a game they hardly deserved to win and could have easily lost.
Teenage forward Garnacho was on Argentina’s long list but failed to make the cut despite his emergence at Old Trafford as a huge prospect and is living the dream of working alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is a certain irony in Ronaldo missing United’s last two games and Garnacho getting two assists in midweek and then the late winner at Craven Cottage.
