Manchester United fans have took to social media to show their excitement over Alejandro Garnacho’s inclusion in today’s starting lineup against Leicester City. 

The teenager has had a superb breakout season for Erik ten Hag’s side, appearing in 12 Premier League games and contributing to four goals. His last-minute winner at Fulham back in November was the winger’s first Premier League goal.

With the return of Jadon Sancho, the Argentinian has spent some time on the bench and has been used as an impact substitute. However, due to Manchester United’s congested fixture list, ten Hag has decided to rotate his side as he looks to avoid injuries.

Supporters of the Red Devils have shown their delight over Garnacho;s inclusion on Twitter, with ten Hag’s selection being popular with the majority of fans.

The 18-year-old will be looking to make it back-to-back Premier League goals, after his sensational goal against Leeds last time out. He will be playing alongside Wout Weghorst and Marcus Rashford, with Rashford looking to make it over 30 goal contributions for the season.

United are still without Casemiro, as he misses his final game due to suspension. Scott McTominay, Anthony Martial, and Antony are still out with injuries and Victor Lindelof gets a rare place in the starting eleven as well.

Leicester start the same side for consecutive matches and the in-form James Maddison will be hoping to cause a huge upset at Old Trafford.

Man United Starting XI: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Sha, Fred, Sabitzer, Fernandes, Garnacho, Weghorst, Rashford

Leicester City Starting XI: Ward, Castagne, Souttar, Kristiansen, Faes, Barnes, Maddison, Drewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Tete, Iheanacho.
