'I remember it like yesterday': Alejandro Garnacho reflects on his crazy rise from Academy to first team

Alejandro Garnacho burst onto the scene in 2022, making his Premier League debut against Chelsea.

Addressing that pivotal moment, the Manchester United Academy graduate told MUTV: "Yes, I've had some nice moments with the club but I'm never going to forget this one and for me it will always be the most important.

"The day I made my debut, the first day that I was given my opportunity and I will always be grateful to the manager and to the club.

"And for me, it was the finest moment of my career."

Shortly after his debut, Garnacho went on to win the FA Youth Cup and also bagged the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year title.

Reflecting on tasting such success at a young age, Garnacho continued: "Two years have gone by, but when I watch the clips, I can remember it like it was yesterday.

"It was there at Old Trafford, where we play every weekend. It’s something I will never forget, it will always stick with me."

Garnacho has come a long way since then, establishing himself as a regular in Erik ten Hag's first-team squad. Garnacho has scored nine goals and assisted four more in 2023/24 so far.
