Alejandro Garnacho, the rising star at Manchester United, has not only made a name for himself on the pitch but has also won the hearts of fans with his off-field gestures. In a heartwarming encounter, the 19-year-old winger demonstrated his appreciation for young United supporters named George and Harry.
Garnacho, who had previously worn the number 49 shirt as he transitioned from the academy to the first team, has decided to switch to the number 17 jersey for the upcoming 23/24 season, following Fred’s departure to Fenerbahçe.
During a chance meeting, Garnacho encountered the two enthusiastic young fans, both donning ‘Garnacho 49’ and ‘Garnacho 7’ shirts. Little did they know, the Argentine winger had opted for the number 17 shirt. To their delight, Garnacho presented them with a gift bag adorned with the United crest, containing his new number 17 shirt.
Moved by the gesture, George and Harry reciprocated the kindness by presenting Garnacho with friendship bracelets they had acquired during their holiday and a card featuring George singing ‘Viva Garnacho!’. This heartwarming exchange highlighted Garnacho’s genuine connection with his fans. Watch the touching moment below…
