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.
Garnacho’s choice of shirt in the clip has caught the eye, though, due to the player’s name on the back.
He can be seen wearing an Al-Nassr shirt with Cristiano Ronaldo’s name and number on it.
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.”

Meanwhile, another commented: “Garnacho doesn’t hide who his GOAT is.”

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.”
He has also previously emulated Lionel Messi, though, including after scoring the winner for United against Fulham last term.
Garnacho played alongside Messi in his international debut for Argentina last month, a 2-0 friendly win over Argentina.
As for Ronaldo, Garnacho starred alongside the Portuguese star six times before he left Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old had even been tipped to inherit his iconic number seven shirt before it was given to new signing Mason Mount.
