Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho revealed how he has been keeping busy during the international break.

As well as parenthood and training at Carrington, Alejandro Garnacho is using some of his spare time to play EA Sports FC 24.

Garnacho was not called up to the Argentina squad, and manager Lionel Scaloni explained that it was down to his form. It is believed that Scaloni would prefer to see the 20-year-old starting more regularly for the Reds in order to warrant selection.

The youngster shared a picture of his team from the game’s Ultimate Team mode, which features a mix of players past and present, including himself: Peter Schmeichel, Jonathan Clauss, Eder Militao, Laurent Blanc, Selma Bacha; Rodrygo, Patrick Vieira, Jude Bellingham, Alejandro Garnacho; Ronaldo, Esuebio.

After Garnacho shared his team, teammate Facundo Pellistri didn’t waste any team dropping an amusing response: “and he still can’t win any games.”

Garnacho responded on X, writing: “Still 3-0 in games against you. Stop sending money it won’t make you good.”

Pellistri replied: “He is lying.”
