FANS have labelled Alejandro Garnacho “the bravest man from Argentina” after spotting his controversial shirt in a kickabout.
The Manchester United star performed kick-ups with his younger brother Roberto in a video shared to social media.
However, the player’s name on the shirt Garnacho is sporting in the video has garnered notice.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s name and number are displayed on his Al-Nassr jersey.
Fans were quick to react, with one tweeting: “Every wonderkid’s idol is Ronaldo, this is why Garnacho’s destined for greatness.”
Another added: “The most brave man in Argentina.”
A third supporter also wrote: “He really is his biggest fan.”
One more fan said: “Garnacho with a Ronaldo Al-Nassr shirt. He’s such a fanboy.”
Meanwhile, another commented: “Garnacho doesn’t hide who his GOAT is.”
Garnacho has made no secret of his love for Ronaldo in the past.
After playing alongside side him in the Europa League last season, the winger shared a picture of the pair and wrote: “I don’t know if it’s real or if I’m dreaming.”
However, he has also imitated Lionel Messi in the past, most notably after scoring the game-winning goal for United against Fulham in the previous campaign.
Last month, in a 2-0 friendly victory over Argentina, Garnacho made his international debut for Argentina alongside Messi.

As for Ronaldo, Garnacho starred alongside the Portuguese star six times before he left Old Trafford.
Even before Mason Mount, a new signing, received his coveted number seven jersey, the 19-year-old was expected to inherit it.
