A MUM got a tour of Manchester United’s training ground for finding Alejandro Garnacho’s dogs.
United supporter Leah Smith, 26, and her children also got matchday tickets from the grateful Argentina international.
Leah was driving with daughter Eliza, ten, when she saw two mutts on the loose near the star’s mansion.
She managed to get them in her car and recognised them from pics the winger posted on social media.
Leah then drove to United’s Carrington training ground where they let her and her daughter inside to watch the first team going through their paces.
An assistant told them the dogs were indeed Freko and Burrows, who live with the star, his partner Eva and their one-year-old son Enzo in Bowdon, Gtr Manchester.
Leah told The Sun: “Once they confirmed the dogs belonged to Garna, they politely asked if I could take them back to his home, which I did. His partner, Eva, was waiting and was very grateful.”
The following day the couple phoned Leah to thank her — and gave her tickets in the players’ family area at Old Trafford for their Premier League game against Southampton.
Leah, Eliza and her brother Jenson, seven, saw Prem strugglers United win 3-1 on January 16.
Leah said: “My children will never forget this day. Thank you Garna & Eva.”
Leah, who lives five minutes from Garnacho’s home, has since bumped into the footy ace while he was walking his dogs.
Fans praised Garnacho, 20, for his generous response but one joked: “Nobody should be made to sit and watch a United game.”
Garnacho joined United’s academy in 2020 from Spanish club Atletico Madrid and made his first-team debut in 2022.
