Alejandro Garnacho dressed up as a hero and qualified Manchester United for the FA Cup

Alexander Garnacho he is called to be one of the great stars of world football and at 18 he is completing his first great performances in Manchester Utd. The team of erik tenhag He is in a state of grace: he became champion of the Carabao Cup last Sunday, beat Barcelona in the Europa League and this Wednesday reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after beating West Ham 3-1 with a great goal from the Argentine

Garnacho was born in Madrid, Spain, 18 years ago; but he has Argentine origins from his mother Patricia and for this reason he decided to represent the Argentina national team (she was already in the Under 20 called up by Javier Mascherano and also coached with Lionel Scaloni’s Major). He is increasingly playing a leading role at United and this Wednesday he defended the team.

The day at Old Trafford hadn’t started well. West Ham took the lead through a goal from Algerian Mohamed Saïd Benrahma, but the locals managed to turn the score around first with a goal against Naif Aguerd and then with a great goal from Garnacho.

The Argentine controls a cross passed into the box and doesn’t hesitate: a right-footed shot at the far post leaves French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola without a chance and signs the 2-1 in the 90th minute. On the last play of the match, Fred sealed a 3-1 lead and Manchester United’s qualification for the quarter-finals.

As well as Garnacho, Lisandro Martínez came on as a second substitute for United, when the game was 0-1 and Ten Hag rearranged the pieces in pursuit of an equalizer (also sending in Casemiro and Marcus Rashford). Meanwhile, in the Hammers, Manuel Lanzini was on the bench and did not enter.

United are doing great. Third in the Premier League, in the round of 16 of the Europa League (he will face Betis on 9 and 16 March), with the Carabao Cup in his pocket and now in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. And with a decisive Garnacho.
