Alejandro Garnacho surprised a young Manchester United fan with a special birthday gift after scoring his sensational overhead kick against Everton on Sunday.
The 19-year-old winger shocked world football with an incredible acrobatic strike to open the scoring during Manchester United’s 3-0 win at Goodison Park, producing one of the most impressive goals in Premier League history.
The Argentine continued to make memories on Monday as he met up with a young Red Devils supporter George outside Carrington training ground.
Garnacho, interacting with the fan from inside his car, was asked to sign a photograph of him performing the stunning goal on Sunday.
George told Garnacho that his goal was the best he had ever seen, claiming it was even better than Wayne Rooney‘s superb overhead kick against Manchester City in 2011.

The United starlet wasn’t sure his goal lived up to the Rooney strike but was more than happy to sign George’s photograph.
Garnacho then surprised the young fan with a special birthday present, handing George a pair of boots similar to those he wore while scoring the outrageous goal.
‘I scored yesterday with these ones,’ Garnacho said after passing over a pair of Nike’s Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Vapor 15 Mercurial Dream Speed boots, which currently retail at £244.95.
Garnacho himself is a huge fan of Ronaldo and mimicked the Portuguese icon’s trademark celebration after firing the amazing strike past Jordan Pickford.
The teenage star left a personalised message on the shoebox, which read: ‘For my friend George with love, happy birthday.’

George was reduced to tears by the touching gesture and showed off his birthday present to the camera, telling Garnacho he is the ‘best in the world.’
He and his older brother Harry are huge fans of Garnacho and regularly post on social media in support of their idol.
The forward has previously gifted the youngsters United jerseys and gave them his new No 17 shirt back in September.
The brothers have also recently shared videos and pictures of them meeting fellow Manchester United stars Rasmus Hojlund, Facundo Pellistri and Victor Lindelof.
