In 2020, Alejandro Garnacho swapped Atlético Madrid’s youth academy for Manchester United, who beat Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid to the forward’s signature.
On 28 April 2022, Garnacho made his debut for United’s first team, playing in the second half against Chelsea in the Premier League.
Madrid-born Garnacho chooses Argentina over Spain
Garnacho, born in Madrid on 1 July 2004, is the son of an Argentinian mother.
The 18-year-old has dual nationality and could choose between the Spanish and Argentinian national teams.
He was an international at youth level with Spain, until he was called up by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina’s senior national team. And that was when he decided to commit to La Albiceleste.
In United’s FA Youth Cup win, Garnacho celebrated the victory with the Argentinian flag.
The Madrid-born player, who scored the winner for Erik ten Hag’s side against Fulham on Sunday, hasn’t been included in Argentina’s World Cup squad.
