VIDEO. Manchester United: After the scissors anthology, Garnacho turned his attention to his most ardent fan in tears

An avid Manchester United fan, young George received the gift of his dreams for his birthday. His idol Alejandro Garnacho gave him the same crampons he wore during his legendary return to Everton. Bright red Nikes in his club colors. The Red Devils striker made sure the shoes were the right size for the child so he could use them on the pitch. “I’m going to use him in Sunday’s match, hoping he can help me score like he did,” exclaimed the little fan in an Instagram story posted by his mother on November 29.

George’s gift came a day after what some sports commentators are already calling the “goal of the decade” scored by the 19-year-old Argentine prodigy. When he went to meet his favorite player after school, all he could think about was getting him to sign a poster commemorating this exceptional technical gesture. But behind the scenes, his mother prepared a surprise that her son won’t soon forget. The kid couldn’t hold back his tears when he picked up the shoes for the first time. “I’m so glad, this is the best, long live Garnacho! – he managed to say between sobs. He intends to follow in the footsteps of his mentor.
