'Don’t pressure him!' - Manchester United fans react to Alejandro Garnacho squad number news

Manchester United fans are urging the club not to hand Alejandro Garnacho the No.7 shirt next season amid fears it would place too much pressure on the 18-year-old.

Garnacho has hinted that he wants the jersey after idol Cristiano Ronaldo left it vacant upon his November exit. The Manchester Evening News understands the youngster could be handed the iconic number.

The teenager only made his senior debut in April last year and began his first United match in October. He finished the season with five first-team goals and five assists, earning a League Cup winner's medal and featuring in the FA Cup final.
