Senior Argentina stars have teased Alejandro Garnacho regarding his obsession with a former Manchester United player.

Garnacho is said to be a huge admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo, who now plays in the Saudi Pro League.

Midfielder Leandro Paredes opened up about Garnacho's relationship with his countrymen during international breaks.

Roma star Paredes said: "We joked about it with him. He is very shy and does not answer.

"Poor guy, we drove him crazy. We also talked to him about what the group is, somehow we try to make them feel part of it and feel comfortable.

"Although in this case he got very nervous and couldn't talk. But as he said, I think he is his idol, he always followed him a lot and he plays quite similar.

"So it's normal, nothing happens. Obviously, when he comes to the national team he has to change a little bit because there is ours."
