Manchester United Tour to Malaysia: Little fans are not signed by Garnacho, tears are heartbreaking

On the evening of May 26, 2025, outside a hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a British boy wearing a Manchester United jersey burst into tears on the spot because he failed to obtain the autograph from his idol Alejandro Garnacho. The scene was moving.

This young fan was part of a special trip from England to Manchester United's pre-season tour. The family of five is composed of father, mother and two children. The trip combines family travel, especially to watch Manchester United's friendly match against the ASEAN All-Star team.

Outside the hotel where Manchester United stayed, a large number of fans gathered to wait, hoping to see the players up close and ask for autographs. The young fan stood in the crowd early, waiting for Garnacho to appear with anticipation. However, due to the crowds on the scene and the limited time of players, the Argentine star ultimately failed to stop and sign every fan.

The little boy saw that hope was lost, his emotions collapsed instantly and cried sadly, wiping his tears while lowering his head, looking extremely disappointed. This scene also made people around them sigh: This is the purest and most sincere love of football in childhood.

"We will come back tomorrow!" The father comforted the heart. In the face of his son's disappointment, the father seemed very understanding and supportive: "Tomorrow we will change places and try to see if we can meet players. After that, we will also watch the game on the 28th night as planned."

When asked about his favorite Manchester United player, the father said: "My favorite is Lisandro Martinez. I like his tenacity and fighting spirit. My son is a fan of Garnacho."
