But the snap has gone viral on social media after eagle-eyed fans noticed Garnacho's unusual choice of footwear.
Accompanying his hoodie and shorts, the Argentine winger opted for comfy slippers.
And they were incredibly Harry Potter-inspired with the Gryffindor symbol on them.
Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: "Garnacho is not real."

Garnacho will swap his slippers for boots tomorrow as Man Utd face West Ham at Old Trafford.
And it is not the only wardrobe change in store as the Red Devils will not be wearing their usual home shirt for the clash.
Rather than sponsors Snapdragon being on the front of the jersey, the logo for (Red) will feature instead.
(Red) is a charity that tackles health inequality and provides life-saving programmes in vulnerable communities.
The one-off shirts will be auctioned off after the game to raise money for the good cause.

Man Utd blow as bargain striker target looks set to snub Old Trafford move for AC Milan transfer
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER United's hunt for a bargain striker has hit a significant setback with Dusan Vlahovic set to snub a move to Old Trafford in favour of joining AC Milan. The Serbian forward has been a long-term target for the Red Devils, who have been desperately searching for an affordable option to bolster their front line. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 United have been long-term admirers of the Serbian striker Credit: AFP 6 Vlahovic is open to leaving Juventus but he has his eyes set on staying in Italy Credit: Alamy 6 Ruben Amorim needs to build a team that can at least challenge for the top four Credit: PA United have already strengthened their squad with the announcement of Matheus Cunha's £62.5 million move. Now, they are looking for an established name who could come in and add both experience and hunger without breaking the bank. Vlahovic scored ten goals for Juventus last season and has once again been linked to United in recent times as Ruben Amorim looks to rebuild the once-great club. But Sunsport understands that the Serbian forward favours a move to AC Milan, if he agrees a deal with Juventus to go their separate ways this summer. The 25-year-old has been in the headlines for months, with United among a host of clubs reportedly monitoring his situation at Juventus. However, while United were thought to be favourites for his signature, Vlahovic is now set to stay in Italy. Milan are desperate to strengthen their attacking options, and Vlahovic's potential arrival would be a huge coup for the Italian giants. Reports from Italy suggest that the deal is already close to completion. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 6 This will be the second blow for Manchester United in the last 24 hours, after news of an injury to goalkeeper Andre Onana. The Cameroon goalkeeper was expected to remain as the club's number one for the coming season, but a hamstring injury means United could now have to return to the transfer market. Why Man Utd could finally shift Jadon Sancho | Transfers Exposed Recently the 13-time Premier League champions have been offered the chance to sign free agents Jamie Vardy, who left Leicester after the completion of his contract, as well as Callum Wilson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Sunsport understands United have turned down all of those options as they look for strikers who fit the profile of how the manager wants to line up. The Reds are also working on moving on players such as Marcus Rashford, who has returned to the club after his loan spell at Aston Villa, as well as Alejandro Garnacho, who the manager said could leave this summer after a falling out. The Argentine had bneen offered a chance to reunite with his hero Cristiano Ronaldo, but prefers to a move elsewhere. There are expected to be massive changes across the entire squad as the transfer window takes centre stage in the coming weeks. 6 The striker is aware he will not be short of suitors if he left Juventus Credit: Rex

Garnacho rules out one Man Utd exit route and reveals preferred destination
Alejandro Garnacho remains likely to leave Manchester United this summer, but wants to remain in the Premier League if he does intend exit Old Trafford. The Argentina international is one of a number of players on the transfer list as the Red Devils look to significantly trim their squad. Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho are all on the chopping block as well, but exits are proving difficult to secure, despite them all being international stars. There is interest in Garnacho, but the 21-year-old is not keen to just take any offer that comes in for him. The Telegraph report that an opportunity to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr has emerged, but the winger is not interested in moving to the Saudi Pro League. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also reports that Garnacho wants to stay in the Premier League, which seriously narrows down his options in the transfer market. Serie A champions Napoli have long been keen on Garnacho, making a move for him in January and doing so again this summer, but the player would rather not go to Italy. Chelsea have been linked with a move for Garnacho all summer and if he is to get his wish to stay in England then Stamford Bridge now appears to be by far the most realistic destination. The Telegraph reported last month that the clubs were exploring a swap deal which would take Garnacho to west London and Christopher Nkunku move to Old Trafford. The French forward has had an underwhelming spell with the Blues since signing from RB Leipzig – not helped by serious injury in his first season – and Chelsea are willing to sell him. Manchester United and Bayern Munich have been credited with an interest in Nkunku, and there remains a possibility that a deal could be done with the Red Devils. Having previously wanted around £60m for Garnacho, the Mirror reported last month that Manchester United have dropped the asking price as they look to get a deal done. An offer of closer to £40m may be enough to secure his signature, although clearly if a swap deal can be done then that would drop still further. While Garnacho featured regularly under manager Ruben Amorim last season, the campaign ended on a sour note as he complained about his role off the bench in the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. 'There were a lot of things missing – when you don't score goals, you always need more at the end,' Garnacho told the Argentine media after the 1-0 loss. 'I played every round until we reached the final, I helped the team, and to play twenty minutes today… I don't know.' Asked about his team selection for the clash with Spurs, Amorim named Garnacho as someone who made a mistake by missing a great chance against Athletic Bilbao earlier in the competition. The cast and circumstances are different, but the brewing tension between Ruben Amorim and Alejandro Garnacho is already drawing parallels with another ugly stand-off that engulfed the club not long ago. Jadon Sancho's very public falling out with Erik ten Hag in August 2023 signalled the end of his time at the club – even if United are still scrambling to remove him from their books. The former Borussia Dortmund winger was accused of failing to meet the required standards in training – something Garnacho is certainly not guilty of with Amorim praising the Argentine for his determination and eagerness to adapt to his methods earlier this year. But openly challenging his manager's decisions is a rotten look. We will never know what might have happened had Garnacho started against Tottenham but the winger has been as guilty as anyone of missing big chances this season. Arguing he has played every round of the knockout stages leading to the final is a valid one – but just one goal in the Europa League this season suggests Amorim's decision had its own merits. Garnacho can and should be doing more, something he and his brother may have overlooked as the red mist descended last night. The bigger picture is Garnacho has openly defied his manager at a moment where the club is reeling, staggering towards the end of a disastrous season that has broken records in mediocrity. United cannot afford to let the tension draw out like it did between Sancho and ten Hag. And with the club desperate to raise additional funds in the summer transfer window, one of their tougher decisions may have just got a little easier. Tony Mogan | Assistant Sports Editor, Metro 'Some players come in, like Mason Mount, against Bilbao and changed the game,' Amorim said in his post-match press conference. 'So now it is easy to say. Who missed the big opportunity in the first half against Bilbao? Garnacho. 'Of course, now it is easy for us to talk about a lot of views. I just look at the game and try to manage things and improve the team and try to win games. More Trending 'I can see it both ways. I remember everything about the past so it is easy for me to respond to that question.'
