Manchester United teenage striker Alejandro Garnacho made his first-team debut in Thursday night’s 1-1 Premier League draw against Chelsea.
The 17-year-old was handed his first ever senior appearance in football by Ralf Rangnick and it was a proud moment for his family, who were watching the clash from the directors box at Old Trafford. It was a huge occasion for the promising teenage star to make his debut, with his family clearly emotional and taking video footage of the special moment, with ‘Garnacho 75’ shirts on display.
Marcos Alonso had opened the scoring for the visitors on the hour mark; firing a low effort past David de Gea after being found unmarked inside the United penalty area by a Kai Havertz cross. It was a goal that was a long-time coming for Chelsea, who had dominated the opening hour of chances and enjoyed the lion’s share of possession.
