Man Utd fans feel excited after Alejandro Garnacho’s equally brutal retaliation against the Indonesian defender in a friendly match on the evening of June 19.
Man Utd striker Alejandro Garnacho came on from the bench in the second half of the second half in a friendly match between Argentina and Indonesia at Gelora Bung Karno (Jakarta, Indonesia) on the evening of June 19.
In a dispute for the ball in the opponent’s half, Garnacho was very rough on the ball by Indonesian defender Asnawi Mangkualam, causing him to fall to the field.

Notably, the 18-year-old striker immediately got up to retaliate by throwing both feet into the ball with the underside of his shoes with Asnawi Mangkualam, causing the Indonesian defender to almost suffer a serious injury.

However, both Garnacho and Asnawi Mangkualam escaped the red card after the above situation.
Man Utd fans excitedly shared a clip of Garnacho’s retaliation with the Indonesian defender on social networks, with the comment: “That’s Garnacho’s fighting spirit”.
Another fan said: “Rooney would be proud of this kick.” Another shared the same opinion: “This ball reminds me of Rooney”.
Another commented: “He’s got the madness in him. That’s what it takes to be a star.”
Garnacho is one of the interesting discoveries under coach Erik Ten Hag. Former Man Utd and Argentina player Juan Sebastian Veron thinks Garnacho has all the qualities of a future superstar.
“Garnacho has what it takes to be a star. It’s not easy to play for Man Utd at that age, but I think he still has to have patience. He needs to work hard for you. He has the opportunity to become a main player for a big team like Man Utd,” said Sebastian Veron.
