The best is often saved for last. Alejandro Garnacho was the final name announced over the stadium PA system ahead of Manchester United's opening game of the season against Wolves and the crowd duly responded with a roar.

Garnacho wants to be the best and he reacted by raising a smile before slotting the ball into the net as part of the pre-match shooting drill.

He also returned to the dressing room to a chorus of 'Viva Garnacho' from the Stretford End. This game was a chance for Garnacho to prove he could impact a Premier League game across its entirety and he started in exuberant fashion, asking for the ball each time possession was won across the first few minutes.

Garnacho has a tendency to be excitable when he starts and was exactly that throughout the opening stages, which led to him losing the ball and a simple pass from Casemiro towards the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand.
