The Manchester United striker has realized one of his dreams.
“You can call me to signaling a new season,” stated Alejandro Garnacho, the teenage striker for Manchester United who went on to fulfill his aspirations after winning his first championship with Argentina and winning the Copa América in the United States. This time, his unique journey brings him to the Joliet Correctional Center in Illinois, which is well-known for serving as the backdrop for the first episode of the television series “Prison Break” (called after the prison in his story, Fox River State in the series).
On Instagram, the 20-year-old star shared images of his visit to the historic prison, which operated from 1858 to 2002. In the publication, which has exceeded 1.5 million likes, the skilled football player expressed expressed his feelings: “Dream come true. Prison Break, you can call me for a new season”
The photos and videos show Garnacho touring and recreating some of the iconic scenes inside the maximum security prison starring characters Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (played by Wentworth Miller). Dominic Purcell). The visit to the iconic location marked a new milestone in the list of dreams fulfilled by “Bichito”.
In addition to the post, the young Red Devils attacker also showed a video in which one of the wells the brothers made to try to escape can be seen.
His post did not go unnoticed by his Scaloneta teammates. For example, he received a like from Nicolás Tagliafico and Julián Álvarez. “Prisooonnn,” wrote Valentín Carboni, his faithful companion in Argentina.
Among the messages, those of actor Dominic Purcell also stood out. “We escaped that joint. My old playground. Lots of stage magic done there, good times (again if the world wants it). I hope everything goes well with your brother,” he commented. And then he winked at the athlete by writing: “Liverpool?”, along with a smiling face emoji.
This isn’t the first time Garnacho has shown his enthusiasm for the American series. In mid-2022, he made headlines with an image he uploaded to his social networks, in which he showed off his impressive tattoo done by artist Daniel Medrano Fernández, more commonly known as Erbylzito Tatto done.
In the photo that the football player uploaded, his fanaticism towards Prison Break is clearly evident. This television series created by Paul Scheuring in August 2005 achieved global success, making it one of the most watched series in history.
The tattoo shows the series’ main character, Michael Scofield (played by actor Wentworth Miller). A few centimeters away appears Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), the novel’s other central character. Closing things out is villain Theodore Bagwell, commonly known as T-Bag (Robert Knepper).
With that artwork, Garnacho perfected the sleeve of his right arm, as it previously featured a woman (from below the elbow to the wrist). However, on the left, a tiger with blue eyes appeared.
