Manchester City great Sergio Aguero has poked fun at Alejandro Garnacho and Cristiano Ronaldo after they shared a heart-warming moment for Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. Named in the matchday squad against Norwich, academy sensation Garnacho was an unused substitute in the win over the Canaries.
However, the dramatic Ronaldo-inspired victory proved to be another occasion to remember for Argentinian starlet and he took home a rather special gift. Having gunned down the rock-bottom Canaries with a devastating hat-trick, Ronaldo was spotted handing over the match-ball to Garnacho.
A standout player for the U18s on their journey to the FA Youth Cup final this season, the Madrid-born teenager was called up by Argentina last month. He had represented Spain at a number of different youth levels.

In doing so, Garnacho rubbed shoulders with Ronaldo's long-standing rival Lionel Messi - the two are generally regarded as being up there with the greatest players in history. Everyone has their own favourite, of course, but Garnacho might have found that coin flip-type decision more difficult than most to settle on.
Not yet 18 and already able to call Ronaldo and Messi teammates, Garnacho has been tipped for the very top in his own journey, but that hasn't stopped some light-heartened trolling from compatriot Aguero.
Uploading an image of himself alongside Ronaldo, teenager Garnacho addressed his Instagram followers. He wrote: "Greatest of all times..."
Tagging that man Ronaldo and adding goat, football, fire and love heart emojis, Garnacho was swiftly responded to by Aguero. His response read: "Because you still didn't play with the best pa @leomessi." It all seemed to be very light-hearted from Aguero and the City great added a cool guy emoji for good measure.
