Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has shared a cryptic post on his Instagram page, featuring four different images of himself alongside both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The youngster, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in October 2020, enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 campaign, producing an array of excellent performances. He played a formidable role in helping the club win their first FA Youth Cup crown in more than a decade, scoring seven goals and grabbing three assists in just six matches, including two strikes in the final against Nottingham Forest.
His exploits at youth level resulted in the 17-year-old earning his first-team debut, stepping off the bench in the closing stages of United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford in April. He also enjoyed a cameo against Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

Prior to making both senior appearances for United, however, Garnacho got the opportunity to rub shoulders with Messi while on international duty with Argentina. The youngster was awarded a shock call-up to the squad in March and although he didn't play it was an invaluable experience for him.
He has since been awarded his debut for the country's Under-20 side and recently scored four goals in the Toulon Tournament, helping Argentina finish fifth. But his call-up to the senior squad means that he is one of a select few that have been fortunate enough to train alongside both Messi and Ronaldo.
The duo are widely considered the two greatest players of all time, meaning the experience of training or playing alongside either of them will be viewed as a treat for any young
