Manchester United's players sent messages of congratulations to Alejandro Garnacho after the Reds ace announced he and his partner are expecting a baby boy.
The 18-year-old announced the news on social media - positing several photos from a gender reveal party with his partner Eva Garcia, one of which showed the pair holding up a United baby kit with 'Garnacho 49' on the back. Garnacho - who arrived at Old Trafford as a 16-year-old in 2020 - revealed his child will be called Enzo.
It comes after the forward signed a new five-year contract with the Reds following a breakthrough season with the first-team. He committed his future to Old Trafford until June 2028, having made 31 appearances for the senior side under Erik ten Hag this term. The attacker has missed the last seven weeks with an ankle injury.

"We're counting down the days to meet you, Dad and Mom already love you so much Enzo."
Several United players commented on Garnacho's Instagram post - here is what some of them had to say...
