Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho has surprisingly received a cheeky request from a man who is tattooed on his arm after his incredible overhead kick against Everton.
Garnacho produced the show-stealing moment from United’s 3-0 Premier League win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The 19-year-old United winger fired his side into the lead inside the opening five minutes after producing a stunning bicycle kick from a Diogo Dalot cross.
Everton manager Sean Dyche was among the many figures who praised Garnacho for his sensational finish and technique in pulling off the sublime overhead kick.
Bruno Fernandes paid tribute to his United teammate in his post-match interview, while Everton defender James Tarkowski shared his reaction to Garnacho’s strike.
Garnacho’s overhead kick caught the attention of people outside of the footballing world, including one actor whom the United star holds quite the fondness towards.

Dominic Purcell sends message to Garnacho
Australian actor Dominic Purcell, who is best known for playing Lincoln Burrows in the hit TV show Prison Break, took to Instagram and paid tribute to Garnacho.
Garnacho is a big fan of Prison Break and even has a sleeve on his arm featuring tattoos of characters from Fox’s widely popular TV show.
The Prison Break characters on his sleeve include Purcell’s Lincoln Burrows, as well as main protagonist Michael Scofield and antagonist Theodore ‘T-Bag’ Bagwell.
Purcell congratulated Garnacho on his Instagram account — much to the surprise of his followers — and hilariously asked if he could transfer to United’s rivals Liverpool.
“Well, if my face — let’s be real Lincoln Burrows’ face (#prisonbreak) is tattooed on someone [I’m] humbled [it’s] yours [Garnacho],” he wrote to his 1.8m followers.
“Can I dare say I was there by default when Alejandro scored one of the greatest goals ever witnessed in the English [Premier League]? Congrats to you, son, and [Manchester United] fans. What a beautiful moment.
“Any chance of a transfer to [Liverpool]?”
Garnacho reacts to Purcell’s message
Garnacho must have been on cloud nine when he saw that Purcell had sent him a fitting tribute for his world-class finish against Everton.
Fans were surprised when they first spotted Garnacho’s Prison Break-themed tattoo, but clearly the beloved TV show had quite the impact on the United forward.
It doesn’t appear as though the Argentina international has publicly shared his thoughts on Prison Break outside of his tattoo being visible on his sleeve.
Garnacho wasted no time in responding to Purcell on Instagram Stories, with the former Atletico Madrid youth prospect acknowledging the actor’s message.
The United star tagged Purcell’s Instagram handle and added a handshake emoji, with Garnacho including a Prison Break hashtag and a heart emoji alongside it.
