Youngster at Manchester United's ability and confidence dazzled Lionel Messi, according to reports
Wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho Ferreyra of Manchester United has won over Lionel Messi of Argentina. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, according to the Mirror, was mostly impressed by the player's skill and assurance at the youthful age of just 17.
Manchester United prodigy's enormous potential has also delighted Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni. In an initial 44-man roster for their World Cup qualifiers that month, Garnacho was called to the Argentina senior team.
The Argentine youth international, who was born in Spain, was also included on the 33-man roster but did not play in those matches. However, according to the source, when exercising with the senior team, he drew Lionel Messi's attention and impressed him.
At the most recent Maurice Revello competition in Toulon, the 17-year-old continued to dazzle as he shone for his nation. Javier Mascherano, a former Barcelona midfielder and current coach of the Argentina U20 team, had encouraging things to say about the young player:
Mascherano praised Alejandro, calling him a "fantastic talent with a lot of promise." It is obvious that he has a responsibility to demonstrate his abilities by representing the club he does, especially given the significance the club places on him going forward.
With four goals in four games, the technically gifted winger tied for second place overall in the tournament's scoring standings. Old Trafford holds the young sensation in the highest regard, and interim manager Ralf Rangnick was the one who first saw his potential.
In the final games of the previous season against Chelsea and Crystal Palace, the German boss allowed the young player two cameo appearances.
Erik ten Hag is also quite impressed with Garnacho, and according to the aforementioned rumor, he plans to advance his career next season. Next season, he wants the gifted young winger to have a much bigger role.
Garnacho might have a chance to play for the first team next season with Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard scheduled to be released at the end of this month.
Can the Manchester United prospect take on the role of Lionel Messi's successor as the face of Argentine football?
Although Lionel Messi is a talent that transcends generations, Argentina will eventually need youthful shoulders to rely on because he is 34 years old.
One of the most talented players of his generation is the Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho.The winger, who was born in Madrid, will turn 18 next month, but he has already shown that he has a bright future ahead of him. He helped United win the FA Youth Cup for the first time in ten years with a brace of goals against Nottingham Forest in the championship game.
The teenage winger can undoubtedly become the face of Argentine football in the post-Lionel Messi era if he can maintain his astonishing improvement.
The adolescent might possibly take on the role of Manchester United's spokesperson in the years following Cristiano Ronaldo.
