Alejandro Garnacho’s immediate reaction to Antony scoring during Manchester United’s Carabao Cup tie against Barnsley speaks volumes.
The Red Devils were in a ruthless mood on Tuesday night as they thrashed Barnsley 7-0 at Old Trafford.
Garnacho, Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford all netted twice while Antony scored one from the penalty spot.
Brazilian winger Antony has largely struggled since making his big-money move from Ajax to United and after scoring against Barnsley to make it 2-0, received an embrace from Garnacho.
The Argentine went over to Antony and gave him a kiss on the head as the pair celebrated the goal.
Manchester Evening News senior football writer George Smith wrote: “After racing away to celebrate, he (Antony) was embraced by Garnacho first, with the Argentine giving his fellow South American a kiss on the side of his head.
“Garnacho was clearly aware of just how much that goal would have meant to the Brazilian. Casemiro then had a word with his fellow countryman, no doubt offering words of encouragement and advice.”
