Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho has gone viral for his impressive goal as the Under-18s booked their place in the FA Youth Cup quarter finals.
The Red Devils' Under-18 side thrashed Everton 4-1 in the FA Youth Cup on Wednesday with Garnacho rounding off the scoring with a stunning solo goal.
The highly-rated young winger collected the ball deep in his own half from an Everton corner before displaying his blistering pace in a foot race down the left against Toffees defender Mathew Mallon.
But Mallon was no match for Garnacho as the 17-year-old breezed past him on a one-man counter-attack and made his way into the area.
The Spaniard then produced a smart finish past the Everton goalkeeper, before copying Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo's trademark 'SIUUU!' celebration.
Garnacho's sensational display went viral on social media, sending United fans into an excited frenzy as they hailed his excellent performance.
One fan posted: 'Alejandro Garnacho! Excellent performance tonight topped off with a superb individual goal.'
Another praised the entire youth team but singled Garnacho out for 'sealing the deal'.
'Great second half showing from United in the FA Youth Cup,' they wrote.
'Really liked the look of Alejandro Garnacho amidst a very bright looking young side - busted a gut late on to absolutely seal the deal when fatigue was setting in.'
A cloud lingers over Old Trafford as United's first team continue to endure a disappointing season.
But fans were quick to claim the future of the club could be bright after the youngster's wonder goal.
'What a brilliant goal by Alejandro Garnacho,' one fan said. 'We have some exciting talent coming through.'
Meanwhile, journalist Simon Loyd said: 'Alejandro Garnacho was fantastic tonight.
'For all the negatives at the minute, there’s a decent band of youngsters at United. Not first team-ready just yet, but the pathway feels a little clearer.'
Charlie McNeill, Kobbie Mainoo, Sam Mather were also on the scoresheet for the Red Devils as they booked their place in the sixth round of the competition, where they will face Leicester.
United fended off interest from Europe's elite to sign Garnacho from Atletico Madrid in September 2020.
He has been directly involved in 17 goals in 25 matches in all competitions this season with 11 goals and six assists.
