Garnacho has five senior appearances and has trained with Argentina’s squad with Lionel Messi.

And, ahead of a potentially glittering career, Garnacho has some cool new tattoos on his leg, which may motivate his fans to follow suit.

Garnacho’s lower thigh is covered in a tattoo of Captain Tsubasa, his favourite childhood football cartoon.

The plot revolves around Tsubasa’s relationships with his friends, rivalry with his opponents, training, and the outcome of each football game.The football-themed tattoo complements those on his arms, which include Prison Break characters, roses, a tiger, and a woman’s face.

Garnacho has appeared three times for United this season, the most recent being in a 2-0 Europa League victory over Sheriff.

He has one Premier League appearance under his belt this season.

However, he has spent the majority of his time on the bench, failing to play in four games.Garnacho has worked with perhaps the best two footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi; both are his “idols” and he could learn a lot from them, which would assist United.

The child has been seen receiving coaching from United team-mate Ronaldo, 37, who handed him his hat-trick match ball from last season’s game against Norwich.

Garnacho’s performance has prompted some former United players to demand more playing time for him.

Former United defender Paul Parker wants to see more of the “tenacious” winger.

Parker told BeMyBet: “I think you have to look at what you have in the group; there is a younger player, Alejandro Garnacho.

“Everyone was talking about him during the preseason.

“Garnacho is tenacious. A lot of Argentinians play with fire in their belly and are a little fiery, and he has a competitive edge.”

Garnacho got a Prison Break tattoo.
