Alejandro Garnacho, a Manchester United youth, celebrated his 19th birthday in an unusual way on Saturday.
Garnacho celebrated his 19th birthday on Saturday.
Dwarf poses and birthday cake
Could wear United’s No. 7 shirt
WHAT OCCURED? The winger, who turned 19 on Saturday, July 1, was photographed with a birthday cake decorated with the colors and flag of his native Argentina, looking suitably festive. He was accompanied by two dwarfs dressed as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, donning Argentina and Portugal shirts and assisting Garnacho in holding his cake.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: There may have been a hint to United fans in the picture as well, with the cake bearing a large No.7. Some speculate that the teenager might fill the vacant shirt number at Old Trafford for the next 2023-24 season. It was, of course, last worn by Ronaldo before his contentious exit from the club in November of last year.
