MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed a major boost as Alejandro Garnacho has stepped up his recovery from injury.
The Argentine attacker is back in his football boots for the first time after suffering an injury for United against Southampton in March.
Garnacho, 18, was ruled out until the final stages of the season due to his knock.
Manager Erik ten Hag, however, challenged him to “be ready” to contribute once he is fit again.
The winger gave fans the positive update on social media as he posted a picture of himself wearing his boots on his Instagram story.
Garnacho has built up a massive online following after breaking into the first team this season and now boasts 5.4 million followers.
