Following a memorable match, young fan George excitedly declared that Alejandro Garnacho’s recent bicycle kick was even better than Wayne Rooney’s iconic goal against Manchester City. “You think?” Garnacho replied with a smile. “I am not sure.” Moments later, the Manchester United player surprised George with an orange box, announcing, “This is my present. These got me a score yesterday, so you have to use them.”
Overwhelmed with joy, George cried out, “Thank you very much!” Garnacho then revealed that he had signed the boots, making the moment even more special. George beamed, exclaiming, “I’m so happy. Garnacho gave me his boots!” When asked what was written on the box, he proudly read aloud, “Happy birthday to my friend George.”
The young boy, clearly moved, said, “Thank you, Garnacho, I love you. You are the best in the world.” This heartfelt exchange showcased the impact Garnacho had on the young fan’s day.
The 19-year-old forward had already made headlines for his stunning goal at Goodison Park, which is considered one of the best in Premier League history. Demonstrating his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, Garnacho even celebrated with the iconic “Siuu” dance during the 3-0 victory.
As he returned to training at Carrington, the encounter with George highlighted the special connection players can have with their fans, especially on such a significant day for the young supporter.
