Alejandro Garnacho has been spotted appearing to hold a vape while in the middle of getting a tattoo. While it hasn't been confirmed what specific product it is, the Manchester United winger has previously been spotted with an e-cigarette by his side.
In 2023, the 21-year-old posted a photo of himself watching a United game at home when fans spotted a green vape pen on the table in front of him. Garnacho swiftly deleted the Instagram story before posting it again without the appearance of the vape pen, which was claimed to belong to someone else.
The Argentina international has now been snapped with what appears to be a vape in his left hand while getting a tattoo. The image was plastered across social media, prompting plenty of comments from fans online.
One X user wrote: "There's your star boy." While another commented: "Don’t let Chelsea see this seriously."
The winger - who has agreed personal terms on a move to Chelsea - was told that his United career was over in May after Ruben Amorim informed him that he must find a new club at the end of the season.

Arriving at Old Trafford in 2020, it was in 2022 that he made his first team debut under Erik ten Hag. He has since gone on to make 144 appearances for the club, racking up 26 goals and 22 assists in that time.
While he's reportedly been valued at £70million by United, Chelsea are said to be looking to a deal in the £50million range, despite Garnacho having three years left on his current United contract.
While the youngster's talent is evident, Amorim hinted at the reasons he thinks the forward is open to a move away from Manchester. Speaking earlier this summer, the Portuguese boss said: "I think with Garnacho, you can understand and you can see that he's talented, he's a really talented boy. But sometimes things don't work out and you cannot explain specifically what it is.

"But I have the feeling – and I think it's clear - that Garnacho wants a different thing with a different leadership and I can understand that. So I don't think it's a problem. Sometimes you adapt to one guy and you have the connection.
"Other times you want a new challenge. So we try to make everything OK for all parties. To the club, to the coach and to the player. It's a natural thing in football."
Amid Marcus Rashford's exit and the likely departures of Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho, Amorim has reconstructed his attacking force with the signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
