Alejandro Garnacho came back from injury to score Manchester United's winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Since he limped off the field after a nasty tackle from Kyle Walker-Peters when United played Southampton on March 12, the Argentine superstar has been unavailable for the Red Devils.
Garnacho has largely played off the bench this season after making his debut in April of last year, toward the end of the 2022–2023 season.
However, he has not lost his amazing form when called upon against Wolves on Saturday, May 13.
After attaining a full recovery, Garnacho was in action against Wolves from the 82nd minute. He played 14 minutes of the match, accumulating just five touches.
Although he only had a short amount of time to prepare, the 18-year-old made the most of it by achieving an incredible 100% passing accuracy.
Garnacho didn't play in front of the Wolves post that often, but when he did, he made the most of it.
The 18-year-old Argentine starlet made it two for United after receiving a wonderful pass from Bruno Fernandes at stoppage time.
Interestingly, the goal was his first and only shot of the contest against Wolves.
This season, Garnacho has scored three Premier League goals, all of which have occurred after the 84th minute, with two of those goals occurring in the second minute of added time.
Meanwhile, on April 30, Garnacho declared that he would soon become a father, and in a tribute to his son, the 18-year-old celebrated his goal against Wolves by tucking the ball beneath his jersey and sucking his thumb.
