Alejandro Garnacho has scored an excellent equaliser against Brentford.

The 20-year-old winger has come to Manchester United’s rescue during Saturday afternoon’s first Premier League match back at Old Trafford.

The home team fell behind just seconds before the half-time break after Ethan Pinnock scored a towering header while Matthijs De Ligt was off the pitch receiving treatment for a head injury.

Determined not to go out with a whimper, Erik Ten Hag’s half-time team talk would’ve been a strong one as the Dutchman remains under huge pressure to keep his job.

Argentina’s Garnacho found himself with space at the back post before teammate Marcus Rashford played a great cross-field ball.

Although Rashford’s lofted pass was pinpoint in its delivery, United’s number 17 still had a lot to do to beat Mark Flekken.

Making a superb connection with the cross, Garnacho volleyed the ball straight into the Stretford End net — single-handedly dragging the Red Devils level.

Failure to complete a comeback and take all three points from Saturday’s game at Old Trafford could see United slip to 13th in the table by the end of the weekend.
