Manchester United supporters are so taken by Alejandro Garnacho that they have begun serenading the young forward with Cristiano Ronaldo ’s chant.
Garnacho was the star of the show for United on Wednesday night, scoring twice to give the club’s Under-18 side a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Youth Cup final. United’s youngsters clinched the trophy for the first time since 2011 in front of a sell-out crowd of 67,000 fans at Old Trafford.
United captain Rhys Bennett opened the scoring after 12 minutes to put the hosts on their way before Joshua Powell equalised for Forest following a mistake by goalkeeper Radek Vitek. The stage was then set for Garnacho, who netted a controversial penalty in the 75th minute to make it 2-1 before benefiting from a deflection to make the game safe in injury-time.
