Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho has been awarded the prestigious FIFA Puskas Award for his spectacular bicycle kick against Everton last November, which was deemed the finest goal of the past year. The young forward, who joined United’s youth system from Atletico Madrid in 2020, has quickly become one of the club’s most promising talents, with 24 goals in 113 appearances.

Despite a mixed season, with eight goals and four assists across all competitions, Garnacho’s stunning acrobatic strike against Everton was a standout moment, sealing a 3-0 victory for United. This remarkable goal earned him the Puskas Award, beating out 10 other exceptional goals, including those from past winners like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Garnacho expressed his pride in winning the award and thanked his teammates and fans for their support. He highlighted the importance of teamwork in achieving such individual milestones. “It was a special goal and I’ll always remember it, but there’s many more incredible moments to come with this team,” he said.

This achievement further demonstrates Garnacho’s growth at Manchester United, as the team navigates a challenging season under manager Erik ten Hag.
