Garnacho named U18s Player of the Year

The 17-year-old Argentine-Spanish winger made his first-team debut in April’s Premier League draw with Chelsea and has since been involved in several matchday squads.

Five goals in the Under-18s’ run to the FA Youth Cup final have been the highlight of a prolific season for Garnacho, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2020.

Particularly notable was his two-goal performance in the 2-1 quarter-final victory over Leicester City, in which he first equalised with a drilled free-kick before sealing the win late on with an emphatic left-footed finish. He also netted in games against Scunthorpe United, Everton and Wolves.
