Awkward moment as kid says ‘I don’t like’ Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho live on MUTV

A young Manchester United fan produced an awkward moment live on MUTV while collecting a signed Alejandro Garnacho shirt.

Ahead of the Red Devils' 2-1 victory over Brentford, MUTV presenter Zarah Connolly surprised a fan.

Before handing the youngster a shirt, she asked him what he thought of Garnacho.

The fan responded: “I don’t really like him.” 

It left Connolly in an awkward position, as she laughed, before saying:  “You don’t really like him?

«Ah, well this is going to be very interesting because we spoke to the team to let them know about you today.

“This is going to be quite funny, to be fair. The team all decided that they wanted to gift you a shirt and tell you how happy they are that you’re part of the Manchester United family.

»You’re going to really giggle at who’s on the back now… because this is what the team wanted to give to you today after we told them. You’ve got Garnacho’s shirt!”

Connolly later revealed the fan, named Cameron, was delighted to be given the shirt.

She posted on X, formerly Twitter: “After this, he literally give me a big hug and said thank you! He’s a trooper.

«We found out before the game that Cameron just finished chemo two weeks ago and we wanted to give him a treat from his United family!

»My bad that we got a player he wasn’t a fan of.”

Two stoppage-time goals from Scott McTominay secured a much-needed victory from Erik ten Hag's side.
