The Argentine prodigy’s new look also drew comparisons to when Lionel Messi went blonde, with one fan saying: “Following the steps of the GOAT ,” alongside a picture of blonde Messi.

Another fan followed in those footsteps, sharing an image of blonde Messi under a post of Garnacho’s new look.

However, considering Garnacho’s idol is Messi’s GOAT rival Cristiano Ronaldo, it was probably not his exact intention to draw such comparisons.

As well as fans, the new look whipped up some reaction from team-mates, including Brazilian Casemiro.

SIlver-haired team-mate Antony exposed Garnacho’s new look to the rest of the squad while in training, with Casemiro showing off his surprise.

Dyed blonde hair is a theme in the Man Utd dressing room, with Lisandro Martinez also having some blonde colour in his hair.

The fresh look comes ahead of a crunch Europa League second leg against Barcelona, with Erik ten Hag revealing both Harry Maguire and Antony can return.

Meanwhile, Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer are also back following suspension from the thrilling first leg which ended 2-2.

Ten Hag must also cast his mind to Sunday’s Carabao Cup final for United’s first chance to win silverware in over half a decade.
