Leah Smith, 26, was driving with her 10-year-old daughter near Garnacho's house when she spotted the two dogs and recognised them from the United star's social media posts. She then got the dogs into her car and drove to United's training ground - as per The Sun.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The mother of one was allowed in to watch United in training and Garnacho confirmed that the dogs were his, expressing his gratitude by giving Smith a tour of Carrington and tickets for the clash against Southampton last month.
WHAT LEAH SMITH SAID
She 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."
