Alejandro Garnacho has stirred up quite a buzz with his recent holiday wardrobe choice. The Manchester United forward was seen sporting an Al-Ittihad shirt during some pre-season workouts, a move that has left fans concerned about potential friction with his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad’s fierce rival in the Saudi Pro League.

The photo of Garnacho in Al-Ittihad colors prompted a flurry of reactions online. Fans questioned why he wasn’t wearing Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr jersey instead, with some speculating that the choice could be a subtle hint towards a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Comments ranged from confusion to outright disapproval, with some suggesting Garnacho might be signaling his desire to leave Manchester United.

Currently enjoying an extended break after his Copa America triumph with Argentina, Garnacho has yet to rejoin his Manchester United teammates, who are on a pre-season tour of the United States. His training partner, Facundo Pellistri, is also catching up on fitness after the Copa America with Uruguay.

The team’s pre-season tour has had a rocky start, beginning with a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in LA. They will next take on Real Betis in San Diego, followed by a friendly against Liverpool in South Carolina. Manchester United’s tour will culminate with a Community Shield clash against Manchester City at Wembley on August 10.
