Javier Mascherano is as excited by Alejandro Garnacho as everyone else - according to former Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron.
Garnacho, 18, scored five goals and provided the same number of assists for United last season in a campaign restricted to 33 appearances by an ankle injury. The teenager - who signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford last month - is a favourite among the fan base due to his clear individual talent.
And that appreciation is shared by ex-Argentina and Barcelona star Javier Mascherano. Now the manager of his country's under-20 side, Mascherano has been speaking to Veron about United's number 49. Veron hopes to see Garnacho adopt the right attitude and continue to go from strength-to-strength in United colours.
