The Man United youngster took to social media after the game, expressing his happiness.  

"Incredible moment making my debut at 17 years old for Manchester United in the Premier League at the Theatre of Dreams.  

"I can’t put into words what I’m feeling right now, I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I was 4 years old. Remember guys, Dreams really do come true," Garnacho noted on his social media handles. 

With the 17-year-old making his first professional appearance his family members could not hide their emotions. 

The footage making rounds on social media shows his family all rising as one when the stadium announcer called out his name.  

Garnacho's mother was seen filming as the young star made his way onto the pitch, while his dad was in tears as supporters applauded the youngster. 

The 17-year-old United forward joined the club in 2020 from Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

He received his first call up to Argentina’s squad in March joining the rare list of players that made international debuts before club debuts.
