Alejandro Garnacho was Manchester United's star man in their FA Youth Cup win over Nottingham Forest and his family were visibly emotional throughout. Check out the footage of them celebrating his penalty below.

United ran out 3-1 winners in front of a raucous 67,492-strong crowd on Wednesday and Garnacho stepped up in a big way.

Rhys Bennett had headed the Red Devils in front before Josh Powell's equaliser slipped through goalkeeper Radek Vitek's gloves.

The home side were then awarded a dubious penalty after Garnacho was brought down by Zach Abbott, with further replays showing it was outside the box.

Nevertheless, Garnacho stepped up to fire past Aaron Bott and put United ahead once again.

His parents and grandparents were in attendance for the game and looked close to tears as his name and number were read out.

The 17-year-old would double his tally late on after a mazy solo run and deflected strike.

United are FA Youth Cup winners for the first time in 11 years and it's thanks to one special talent.

Fans have reacted to the footage and they think a star has been born.

One commented: "What a feeling. Your boy scoring at Old Trafford."

Another added: "This is what it's all about. Football, you've got to love it."

While a third tweeted: "Some very wholesome content for your timeline this morning."

It's been a whirlwind season for Garnacho and he's already found himself in and around the first-team setup.

The forward joined from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and immediately went into the United academy.

His talents caught the eye of Argentina, who he is eligible to play for through his mother, and they moved quickly to stop him committing to Spain.

That saw Garnacho jet off to South America to be part of Argentina's squad for March's World Cup qualifiers with Venezuela and Ecuador.

He even took a picture with Lionel Messi before returning to Carrington to train with Cristiano Ronaldo.

After scoring a hat-trick against Norwich City last month, Ronaldo gave his match ball to Garnacho who then called him the 'GOAT' on Instagram.

Garnacho made his first-team debut as a late substitute in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea earlier this month.

You get the feeling his story is only beginning, and his family will be there every step of the way.
