Alejandro Garnacho says he will miss “a very important part of the season” for Manchester United after incurring an injury against Southampton.
Garnacho was pictured leaving Old Trafford in a protective boot after a challenge from Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters in Sunday’s stalemate, which leaves United two points above fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand.

Garnacho has to drop out of the Argentina squad for the international break, which means the teenager will definitely be unavailable for United’s games against Real Betis and Fulham.
“It is difficult to put into words how l’m feeling right now,” Garnacho wrote in a post on Instagram.
“Unfortunately I will not be able to help my team and team-mates in the upcoming games in what is a very important part of the season for us at Manchester United.
“I am disappointed to also miss the opportunity to be with my team-mates of the Argentinian National Team in what would have been a great and proud moment for me and my family.
“This is part of football and our profession, however, I am already focused in my recovery. God has taught me to never give up and I will make sure I am back stronger than ever!”
