Alejandro Garnacho has been dubbed “the bravest man from Argentina” by supporters who saw his contentious shirt during a kickabout.
In a video posted to social media, the Manchester United player demonstrated kick-ups alongside his younger brother Roberto.
Alejandro Garnacho and his brother Roberto had fun playing soccer.
Still, attention has been called to the player’s name on the back of Garnacho’s shirt in the video.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr shirt has his name and number on it.
One fan tweeted, “Every wonderkid’s idol is Ronaldo, this is why Garnacho’s destined for greatness,” as soon as other fans saw what was happening.
“The most courageous man in Argentina,” said an additional.
Additionally, a third admirer remarked, “He really is his biggest fan.”

One more fan said: “Garnacho with a Ronaldo Al-Nassr shirt. He’s such a fanboy.”
Meanwhile, another commented: “Garnacho doesn’t hide who his GOAT is.”
Garnacho has made no secret of his love for Ronaldo in the past.
After playing alongside side him in the Europa League last season, the winger shared a picture of the pair and wrote: “I don’t know if it’s real or if I’m dreaming.”
He has also previously emulated Lionel Messi, though, including after scoring the winner for United against Fulham last term.
As for Ronaldo, Garnacho starred alongside the Portuguese star six times before he left Old Trafford.
