Alejandro Garnacho was ousted online by his Man United team-mate Facundo Pellistri over his performances on the online video game EA FC 24.<\/p>\n
The global football game is loved worldwide by supporters and players and the United duo evidently love competing against each other as well.<\/p>\n
Both gave an insight into their online rivalry when Pellistri responded to a social media post showing off Garnacho’s ultimate team – a feature on the game where players build their own dream squads.<\/p>\n
Garnacho’s star-studded line-up boasts a series of ‘icons’ and current players with ratings in the high 80s, but also includes himself – a 77 rated card – on the left-wing of his team.<\/p>\n
The south American pair share a good relationship and are often seen training closely alongside one another at United’s Carrington training complex.<\/p>\n

However, Pellistri wanted to enjoy some light-hearted fun at his team-mate’s expense when he responded to the leaked picture of Garnacho’s team, stating: ‘and he still can\u2019t win any games’ alongside a laughing face emoji.<\/p>\n
Garnacho was quick to reply and hilariously claimed that Pellistri was currently on a losing streak against him, adding: ‘Still 3-0 in games against you, stop spending money it won\u2019t make you good.’<\/p>\n
The online exchange offered United fans a rare glimpse of a genuine online interaction between two of the club’s most promising talents.<\/p>\n

Both have cemented themselves in Ten Hag’s senior team at United, but have each struggled for consistent minutes so far this season.<\/p>\n
Garnacho is regarded as one of United’s brightest academy prospects, scoring five senior goals last season during his breakthrough year, but has flittered in and out of the team.<\/p>\n
However, United’s struggles prior to the ongoing international break gave Garnacho a chance to prove himself with the 19-year-old starting both Premier League wins against Fulham and Luton.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Pellistri is most often used as a right-wing substitute, but has started some key matches this season, including a first Champions League start away against Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
