Alejandro Garnacho shares message ahead of returning for Manchester United pre-season training

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is seemingly excited for the start of pre-season training after taking to social media on Thursday.

The Argentina international, who signed a new long-term contract at Old Trafford back in April, is expected to report back to the club's Carrington training base tomorrow (Saturday) for pre-season training. Garnacho was one of 15 United players who were granted an extended summer break after featuring on international duty last month.

The winger, who made two substitute appearances for Argentina last month, featuring in their friendly victories over Australia and Indonesia, will be looking to build on the sharp rise he experienced last term. He is one of United's most exciting stars and the progress he made was very impressive.

Garnacho, 19, will be looking to impress manager Erik ten Hag over pre-season, though he, as well as others reporting back to Carrington tomorrow, is not expected to feature against Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday. That marks United's last friendly before jetting off to the USA for their pre-season tour.

Nevertheless, Garnacho will be hoping to store as many minutes in the tank as possible over pre-season, ahead of the campaign beginning at home to Wolves on
