Manchester United prospect Garnacho could make debut against Norwich

Manchester United prospect Alejandro Garnacho could make his senior debut against Norwich at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The 17-year-old winger has impressed for United at youth level this season and is now set to be involved with the first-team squad.

There is a possibility that Garnacho could play some part in a must-win game for United, with Ralf Rangnick's side facing a major battle as they look to secure a top four finish.

Born in Spain, Garancho was previously at Atletico Madrid's academy before joining United in October 2020. He has been capped by Spain at youth level but was recently called up at senior level by Argentina, who he is eligible to represent through his mother.

Garnacho, who usually plays on the left flank, has scored three times for United in Premier League 2 this season, while he also made an impact in the UEFA Youth League and the FA Youth Cup.

An injury to Fred, who is out with a muscle problem, is set to allow Garnacho the chance to be part of the matchday squad, with the prospect having arrived at The Lowry Hotel on Friday with the rest of the team.

United also have other injury issues to contend with as Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw are set to be absent again.

Rangnick's team go into the game in seventh place in the table, six points adrift of Tottenham, who are fourth.

A win is crucial for United, who subsequently have games away to Liverpool and and Arsenal.
