Manchester United fans spot new Alejandro Garnacho tribute to legend Cristiano Ronaldo
15.07.2023 - 18:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United fans have spotted Alejandro Garnacho wearing an Al-Nassr shirt with Cristiano Ronaldo's name on the back.
The Argentine winger has idolised Ronaldo from a young boy and has modelled his game on the United legend. Ronaldo left United last year and subsequently moved to Saudi Arabia.
The club considered handing Garancho his number seven shirt. He would have been the youngest player to have it since Ronaldo himself in 2003.
Instead, Mason Mount was given the honour and Garancho will have to look elsewhere to upgrade. Fans are unable to buy a 'Garnacho 47' shirt at the moment with speculation he could upgrade.

Garnacho wore 28 on his debut for Argentina, Ronaldo's first shirt number at United. Facundo Pellistri currently holds that shirt albeit he could leave the club and vacate it for Garnacho.
Kicking a ball around with a family member, Garnacho was videoed wearing Ronaldo's name on the back of an Al-Nassir shirt, a further tribute to his hero. That drew the attention of Manchester United fans online.
Garnacho has been dubbed as a potential heir to Ronaldo due to his quick feet and skilful play style. The forward signed a long-term contract at Old Trafford earlier this year.
The youngster has made no secret of his admiration for Ronaldo in the past. Last season, Garnacho posted a photo of himself alongside the iconic forward on his social media account, captioned: 'I don’t know if it’s real or if I’m dreaming’ shortly after he came off the bench against Sheriff Tiraspol.
He also copied Ronaldo's celebration
