Ralf Rangnick promotes Man Utd academy star to first team with eye on future

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has brought teenager Alejandro Garnacho into first-team training ahead of the weekend trip to Everton.

The 17-year-old has yet to step onto the pitch for the Red Devils' first team, but can now lay claim to having trained with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Ronaldo was back from illness as United got ready for weekend action, while Messi was joined by Garnacho in the Argentina squad during the last international break.

The Madrid-born youngster has already been the subject of an international tug-of-war, playing for Spain's under-18s before being courted by Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni. And international bosses aren't the only ones to recognise his quality, with Rangnick giving the midfielder a chance to impress alongside United's senior players.
