'A new star boy' - Man United fans send the board a message after Alejandro Garnacho wonder goal

Manchester United fans have been expressing their excitement after watching Alejandro Garnacho’s superb free-kick for Argentina’s Under-20 side.

The 17-year-old bent one home off the post to pull a goal back for his country, who were 5-0 down to France at the time. Many United fans are hoping he will edge his way into Erik ten Hag’s plans after a successful season.

Garnacho scored two in United’s FA Youth Cup win over Nottingham Forest last month. He earned his senior debut for the club in April before earning a second appearance in the final day loss to Crystal Palace.

The attacker has just 12 months left on his contract but United fans are hoping to see him tied down to a longer deal. Fans took to Twitter to praise the goal and urge their club to pin him down to a long-term contract.

@UnitedThoughts5: Surely rewarded with a five-year contract with optional extension by the club.

@Joshuaf47: They better give him a contract now.

@ihsan587: This guy is something else.
