Alejandro Garnacho scores first goal for Manchester United

Alejandro Garnacho has scored his first Manchester United goal, with the youngster finding the back of the net in Thursday's Europa League contest with Real Sociedad.

The 18-year-old made his first-team debut for the 20-time English champions in April, featuring off the bench in the Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Garnacho made his first start for the club against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League last week, meanwhile, and he impressed in a 3-0 victory for Erik ten Hag's side.

The Argentina Under-20s international was an unused substitute against West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday, but he was named in the starting XI against Real Sociedad on Thursday.

Garnacho has now scored his first senior goal for the club, finding the back of the net with a clever finish after being released down the left by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The forward has not featured in the Premier League since the opening weekend of the campaign against Brighton & Hove Albion, but he will now be bidding to be involved in Sunday's league game with Aston Villa.

Man United are currently 1-0 up against Real Sociedad in Thursday's clash, but they need to triumph by a two-goal margin in order to secure first spot in the group and an automatic spot in the knockout round of the Europa League.
