Man Utd fans in tears at ‘wholesome moment’ as ‘class act’ Alejandro Garnacho surprises young lad with incredible gift
MANCHESTER UNITED fans were moved to tears after “class act” from Alejandro Garnacho went viral.
The incredible moment occurred yesterday outside of the club’s Carrington training ground – just 24 hours after his own magical moment on the pitch.
United romped to a 3-0 win over the Toffees on Sunday to go sixth in the Premier League table.
Garnacho stole the headlines with his amazing overhead kick after just three minutes – an effort Gary Neville stated was better than Wayne Rooney’s famous one against Man City.
Marcus Rashford’s penalty and a further strike from Anthony Martial sealed the win, but it was Garnacho’s goal that everybody was talking about afterwards.
However, the 19-year-old Argentina international decided to make the day of one young supporter on Monday after he had finished training.
A kid named George was waiting to see the winger, who stopped his car for a chat, and he backed up Neville’s claim by telling him that his goal was better than Rooney’s.
He then showed the South American ace a cut-out of his strike – but he was to get something even better in return.
Garnacho proceeded to give George the boots he was wearing for his overhead kick, and they came complete with a personalised message and the signature of the ace.
The child was completely blown away by his present as he struggled to contain his emotions in the truly heartwarming clip.

The footage was soon going viral on social media and one fan shared it alongside the words: “Alejandro Garnacho, what a guy!”
“This is incredible,” declared another supporter.
A fellow United follower wrote: “Such a wholesome moment. Made me cry.”
“I love this,” stated another. “My respect for Garnacho has gone up instantly. Can’t be a guy that wants to give back to the fans.”
Another said: “My starboy is a class act on and off the pitch!”
While a fellow fan added: “A fantastic gesture. It cost Garnacho nothing but his time but little George will never forget that moment.”
That strike was Garnacho’s first goal since the League Cup win over Crystal Palace on September 26.
Now both boss Erik ten Hag and fans will be desperate for the star to conquer up some magic and save their Champions League hopes when they head to Galatasaray on Tuesday.
United go to Turkey knowing that anything less than a victory will all but extinguish their hopes of reaching the knockouts.
