Amad has joked that he would like to win a shirt signed by his Manchester United teammate Alejandro Garnacho.

The 18-year-old, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, has announced a special giveaway on his Instagram page. He has partnered with Memento Memorabilia to give away five signed jerseys after surpassing five million followers on Instagram.

The youngster, who was forced to retire from the Argentina team following the ankle injury suffered in the goalless draw against Southampton almost a fortnight ago, has seen his profile rise in the last 12 months after making significant progress at Old Trafford. . He played a key role in the club’s FA Youth Cup triumph last season and was rewarded with two cameos towards the end of the campaign.

Despite his indisputable potential, he struggled to find his way into Erik ten Hag’s plans at the start of this season, despite the Dutchman having a reputation for developing youngsters and promoting from within. Ten Hag then revealed that he was not impressed with the Argentine’s attitude.

However, Garnacho has since become a first-team regular this season, racking up 29 appearances. He has also contributed four goals and has provided five assists.

His increase in appearances has meant that his profile has been raised, resulting in more people searching for and following him on social media. He has announced a raffle, offering five lucky people the chance to win a signed United shirt with their name and number on the back.

In an Instagram post promoting the giveaway on Friday night, he posted: “As a thank you for reaching 5 million followers, I’m giving five lucky fans a free signed jersey. All you have to do to win is:

Winners will be drawn 48 hours after posting… Good luck guys! Good luck to everyone!”

Unsurprisingly, thousands upon thousands of people have entered the giveaway, desperate to get their hands on a special piece of soccer memorabilia. Among those who have thrown his name into the ring is Amad, although he did not fully comply with the rules of the competition.

He responded to Garnacho’s post promoting the competition, writing, “I want it,” accompanied by a crying emoji.

The duo, who will be looking to earn a place in Ten Hag’s long-term plans at United, have never played together in a competitive match for the club. Amad has spent this season on loan at Sunderland and will be determined to find himself in Ten Hag’s plans after an impressive campaign at the Stadium of Light.
