Alejandro Garnacho was born in Madrid and joined Atlético Madrid’s academy before moving to Manchester United as a teenager in 2020. He broke into United’s first team in 2022, and his fearless dribbling on the left wing quickly made him a fan favourite.
His acrobatic overhead kick against Everton in November 2023 won the Premier League Goal of the Season, and he scored in the 2024 FA Cup final as United beat Manchester City. He later moved to Chelsea in 2025 and joined Aston Villa on loan in 2026.
Garnacho chose to represent Argentina, his mother’s country, and made his senior debut in 2023. He is quick, direct and dangerous cutting inside onto his right foot.
