(Video) Alejandro Garnacho’s heartfelt gesture with bravery award for 7 y/o Manchester United fan

Alejandro Garnacho paid a surprise visit to a seven-year-old Manchester United fan who was invited to Carrington after undergoing treatment for cancer.

United arranged a surprise meeting for the Argentine star to meet Anderson Pollard, who was diagnosed with a rare type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2013, as per the Daily Mail.

Garnacho, who is the boy’s favourite player, took some time out to chat with the fan.

The family of the boy were also present at Carrington but little Anderson know that he would meet his hero.

Garnacho, 19, presented Anderson with a ‘bravery award’ during their time together.

A magical day for an inspiring little boy ❤️
