Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho gifts boots to fan

A young Manchester United fan had the birthday gift of a lifetime from his hero Alejandro Garnacho - the scorer of a spectacular goal for the Reds against Everton at the weekend.

George Standley and his brother Harry are regulars at the club's training ground where they film players for their Instagram account.

Their latest visit ended with Garnacho gifting a pair of his boots to the birthday boy.

The winger's overhead kick at Goodison Park brought back memories of Wayne Rooney's 2011 derby strike against Man City, but George says his hero's was better.

George's mum Rachael said: "The boots are not his match worn boots, they're the same as the boots he scored in.

"We knew he had the boots for him yesterday. We had planned to meet him, but we didn't tell George.

"He just thought he was going to get his poster signed after school."
