  • Argentine forward Alejandro Garnacho has demonstrated his immense love for Cristiano Ronaldo during training
  • Despite hailing from Argentina, the Manchester United young talent has been an unwavering fan of Ronaldo throughout his life
  • Consistently, he has bestowed the GOAT title upon Ronaldo, placing him ahead of his fellow countryman Lionel Messi

Alejandro Garnacho has taken his devotion to Cristiano Ronaldo to new heights as he was recently seen training in the Al-Nassr shirt of his idol.

The Spanish-born Argentine winger holds Ronaldo in the highest regard and has never been shy about expressing his unwavering admiration for CR7, despite his idol's departure from Manchester United under contentious circumstances.

Although Garnacho represents Argentina internationally, he consistently refers to Ronaldo as the greatest of all time (GOAT), placing him ahead of his compatriot, Lionel Messi, per Sports Tiger.

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that he continues to display his admiration for the Portuguese phenomenon proudly.

In a recent demonstration of his affection for Ronaldo, Garnacho was captured engaging in a keepy-uppy session in his own backyard, donning the Al-Nassr shirt adorned with his idol's iconic No. 7 prominently displayed on the back.

Here is the video:

The 19-year-old was one of 15 United players who were granted an extended summer break after featuring on international duty last month, per MEN.

How fans reacted?

@asomaning__ suggested Garnacho's display of love for Ronaldo could get him in trouble at the national team level:

"Messi won’t like this. He’ll sack him from the Argentina camp."

@UTDKojo shared the same sentiments with @asomaning__

"Messi about to sabotage him."

Another fan, @HaydoFN, claimed Garnacho deserves to wear the iconic No.7 shirt at Manchester United:

"He deserves the number 7 more than Mount."

@J_whatever442 intimated:

"CR7 probably gave him the jersey."

@Emmavic14 added:

"The boy really loves Ronaldo."

Garnacho flaunts CR7 underwear

In a previous publication by Sports Brief, the Argentina international was spotted wearing Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 underwear during Manchester United's FA Cup win over Everton in January.

Garnacho was a second-half substitute in the 3-1 victory over the struggling Toffees, replacing Anthony Martial in the 71st minute.

He sported a pair of CR7-branded underwear - while lifting his shirt and pulling his shorts up, the branding of the pants was visible.

Garnacho makes injury return vow

Sports Brief also reported that Alejandro Garnacho has vowed to come back "stronger than ever" after being ruled out for Manchester United and world champions Argentina due to an injury suffered against Southampton on Sunday.

The 18-year-old forward was withdrawn 17 minutes after stepping off the bench in the second half of United's 0-0 draw following a challenge by Southampton's Kyle Walker-Peters.

Garnacho, who left Old Trafford on crutches, said on Instagram that he will miss "upcoming games" for United and will not be joining up with Argentina's squad for friendlies against Panama on March 23 and Curacao three days later.
