The Argentine made his debut for United last season in April. Against Chelsea in the Premier League, the 18-year-old came on as a substitute in the final minutes of the fixture.
Garnacho was handed his first start for the Red Devils by Erik ten Hag in the Europa League against FC Sheriff. The youngster played 79 minutes in the 3-0 win. And the 18-year-old scored his maiden goal for the Old Trafford side against Real Sociedad a week later.
