Garnacho has made three appearances for United this season, with his most recent coming in the 2-0 Europa League win over Sheriff.
He does have a Premier League appearance to his name this term.

Garnacho has worked with arguably the top two footballers of all time in Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, both are his "idols" and he could learn a lot from them, which would benefit United.
The youngster has been seen getting advice from United team-mate Ronaldo, 37, who handed him his hat-trick match ball from the game against Norwich last season.
Garnacho is so impressive, that some former United players are calling for him to be handed more minutes.
Former United defender Paul Parker is keen to see more of the "tenacious" winger.
Parker told BeMyBet: "I think really you have to look at what you got within the squad, there’s a younger player, Alejandro Garnacho.
"Everyone was kind of talking about him in the pre-season.
"Garnacho [is] tenacious… a lot of Argentinians are playing with a fire in their belly and are a bit fiery, and he’s got a competitive edge."
