Alejandro Garnacho thanked idol and teammate Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring his first goal for Manchester United.
The teenage sensation, who's recently broken into Erik ten Hag 's starting XI as the club's reigning under-18 Player of the Year, was assisted by Ronaldo as he slotted home against Real Sociedad to give the Red Devils a 1-0 victory in the Europa League. Although Garnacho's exploits in northern Spain weren't enough to send United through as group winners, it was still a dream come true.
"18 years and 125 days dreaming of this moment. Thanks idol, @cristiano," the Argentina youth international, who even copied Ronaldo's celebration, wrote on Instagram post-match. Garnacho thanked him again in the comments of the 37-year-old's own post, simply writing, "thanks" alongside a goat emoji to signify his belief that Ronaldo is the greatest player of all-time.
