Marcus Rashford has forecasted Alejandro Garnacho will score “a lot more goals” and go on to have an exciting career following his promising run in the first team in recent weeks.
The attacker recorded two assists in the 4-2 League Cup win over Aston Villa on Thursday, a week after bagging his first senior goal against Real Sociedad in the Europa League. Garnacho has had a memorable year, during which he lifted the FA Youth Cup at Old Trafford in May before scoring four goals in as many matches for Argentina’s Under-20s over the summer.
Many believe he has a shot at getting into the senior squad for this month’s World Cup as a result of his quick rise. The 18-year-old has been backed to have a stellar career by many, and Rashford is one of them.
