Who is Garner Joe? If you weren't a Manchester United diehard, you probably hadn't heard the youngster's name a few weeks ago.

He was born on July 1, 2004, and is not yet 19 years old. But "be famous early", this phrase is perfect for Garnacho.

With a full game, Garnacho has played less than 10 games for Manchester United's first team, but he has already staged a good show against Fulham in the early morning of the 14th.

Now, everyone is talking about whether Scaloni (Argentina's national team manager) will regret not taking him to the World Cup?

Follow in Ronaldo's footsteps

After the 2006 World Cup, Ferguson and his Manchester United embarked on a journey to regain dominance of the Premier League, with one of the matches to mention this season at Fulham's Claven Farm.

Cristiano Ronaldo completed a low shot from a 50-metre run before injury time, and the closing 2-1 was a crucial battle for Manchester United to regain the Premier League title after four years.

Almost 17 years have passed since that game, and Ronaldo has now completely turned his face with the team, and in the last game before the World Cup, the Portuguese superstar coincidentally "missed due to illness" and did not travel to London with the team.

And in Manchester United, a team that does not lack individual heroes, this time it is Garnerdo who saves Manchester United, everything, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did in 2007.

In the 72nd minute, Ten Hag replaced Anthony Martial with Garnerjo and the youngster continued to show his talent for 20 minutes as a breakthrough in the box was brought down by the Fulham defender, only to be turned a blind eye to the United player's violation in the box by the referee and VAR.

Heading into the final minute of injury time, he and Eriksen hit the wall and the Argentine teenager used his speed to throw past the Fulham defender and burst into the box to face the goalkeeper with a light low shot.

At 18 years and 135 days, Garnacho is the youngest player in the Premier League to score a stoppage-time winner in nearly 13 years, with Marceda aged 17 years and 227 days when he beat Aston Villa for Manchester United in April 2009.

Garnacho also became United's fourth youngest player to score in the Premier League – at 18 years and 136 days, just older than Marcus Rashford (18 years, 120 days), Welbeck (17 years, 355 days) and Macaida (17 years, 227 days).

Record harvester

In the final two rounds of last season, Garnacho was offered two substitute appearances as a youth academy representative – against Chelsea in stoppage time; In the game against Crystal Palace, he came off the bench in the 80th minute.

At the beginning of the season, because of being late for training, Ghanajo was once beaten by new coach Ten Hag, until Sancho, Martial and Anthony were collectively injured, and Ghanajo got his chance.

Just as Marcus Rashford scored twice in successive Europa League and league games against Arsenal in the Europa League and League games that Louis van Gaal gave him the opportunity, Ghana Jo also took his chance.

In the fifth round of the Europa League group stage at home to Sharif, Garnacho made his first first-team start for Manchester United. Then in the sixth round of the Europa League group stage, Ghana Cho scored his first first-team goal with Cristiano Ronaldo's assist, and set a new George Best record at the age of 18 years and 125 days, becoming Manchester United's youngest non-English player to score in a major European competition, helping Manchester United win 1-0 away to Real Sociedad.

On 11 November, in the third round of the Carabao Cup, Ghanajo provided assists twice to become United's youngest player to assist in an official match at the age of 18 years, 4 months and 9 days, helping United win 4-2 at home to Aston Villa.

In this round against Fulham, Ghanajo scored his first Premier League goal.

Argentina is missing a secret weapon?

Objectively speaking, discussing the topic of a player who has played less than 10 first-team appearances in the World Cup is not a very serious thing in itself, but it is not without precedent.

In the winter window of 2006, Arsenal signed Walcott, who performed well in the first half of the Championship, and in the second half Tigers had few opportunities to play with the Gunners, but in the end, Eriksen selected him to the 23-man World Cup roster, which had just turned 17.

Ghanajo's recent rise has been so strong that before the start of the Manchester United and Villa League Cups, Ten Hag was asked by the media about whether Garnacho should be selected for Argentina's team, "I don't know if this [to play in the World Cup] is the right thing for him." I think he has to keep improving, stay calm, train hard and play. ”

Ten Hag is cautious about the issue, saying he doesn't know all the Argentine players' abilities: "I know a lot of Argentine players, but as part of the 26-man squad, you have to think about whether you have value in the team. When he keeps working hard and keeps this positive attitude, anything is possible. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ghana Jo added two assists and one goal in the last two games.

Sky Sports commentator and Liverpool legend Redknapp Jr. said: "You need the kind of person who can decide the game, and Garnacho is that kind of player. Now that Ghanajo has conquered the world, there may be discussions in Argentina about why he was not taken to the World Cup. But given his age, he has many more World Cups to come. ”

On the day of the League Cup match between Manchester United and Villa, Scaloni announced the final list of 26 for the World Cup in Argentina, with the striker trident featuring Messi, Lautaro and Di Maria, and substitutes including Dybala, Alvarez and Fiorentina in Serie A and Correa at Inter Milan.

Judging from the form of this season, Gonzalez and Correa's form can only be said to be average, at least not as hot as Garnacho recently. For a fast-food schedule like the World Cup, the recent state of the game should be a very important reference.

Garnacho has shown exceptional speed and breakthrough ability, and his shot is also reliable, with two goals against Real Sociedad and Fulham both completed in a high-speed assault.

For Argentina, Ghanajo's form is enough to make him a secret weapon at the World Cup, and if the 26-man World Cup roster is announced a few days later, will Scaloni change his intentions? This question, perhaps, will never be answered...
