The Argentinian added the cherry on top by scoring late on as United ran out 3-0 victors over Leicester. From just outside the area, Garnacho sent a sublime curling effort into the top corner to secure all three points in Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game in charge as interim boss.

Unfortunately, the Old Trafford faithful wasn't treated to an enthusiastic reaction from Garnacho. The 20-year-old looked like he was about to run towards the fans before turning away and walking back for the restart. It was a rather anti-climactic moment, with Fernandes now explaining why his team-mate didn't want to celebrate.
WHAT FERNANDES SAID
"Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans," Fernandes, who scored United's opener, told BBC Sport. "I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do.
"I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference-makers. They are the ones who win us games. We want them to score every game but that isn't going to happen."

Garnacho was confronted by a United supporter who told him to "work on your first touch" in the week. The incident, which went viral on social media, explains why Garnacho might feel like he's lost some attachment with the fans.
