Alejandro Garnacho’s choice of outfit during his holiday has sparked controversy. The Manchester United player was spotted wearing an Al-Ittihad shirt while preparing for the upcoming season, raising concerns among fans that it might upset his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad’s rivals in the Saudi Pro League.

Fans took to social media to express their confusion and dismay, questioning why Garnacho wasn’t supporting Ronaldo by wearing an Al-Nassr jersey instead. Some even speculated that the choice might signal his interest in a potential move to Saudi Arabia, with comments suggesting that he might be hinting at a transfer from Manchester United.

Garnacho, who scored 10 goals last season, is currently on an extended break following his Copa America success with Argentina. He was joined in training by Manchester United teammate Facundo Pellistri, who is also on a delayed break after competing in the Copa America with Uruguay.

Manchester United, now on a pre-season tour in the United States, started their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Arsenal in LA and will next face Real Betis in San Diego before a friendly against Liverpool in South Carolina. They will conclude their tour with a Community Shield match against Manchester City at Wembley on August 10.
