Alejandro Garnacho finally found the net in Manchester United’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle on Sunday, ending a personal goal drought.
The 20-year-old winger has endured a frustrating second half of the season, with his early promise giving way to inconsistent form, minimal impact in the final third, and growing concerns over his decision-making.
Once hailed as one of United’s brightest young talents, Garnacho’s recent performances have mirrored the club’s downward spiral under Ruben Amorim.
His struggles have led to reduced minutes, more scrutiny, and whispers that his place in the starting XI is no longer guaranteed.
But while he finally gave fans a reason to cheer with his equaliser at St James’ Park, it was his pre-match footwear that sparked the biggest conversation.
Alejandro Garnacho was spotted wearing Skechers Razor boots during the warm-up against Newcastle, a strong indication that he is set to ditch Nike in favour of a new endorsement deal with the rising sportswear brand.

The sighting has fuelled speculation that Nike will not renew their agreement with the winger, a decision that reportedly stems from his declining form and reduced market appeal.
Skechers, on the other hand, seem eager to swoop in and position Alejandro Garnacho as one of the youthful faces of their flagship Razor line — following the model set by Spanish midfielder Isco.
If the move is confirmed, it would mark a significant change in Garnacho’s branding and signal a new chapter for the player off the pitch.
While some fans view Skechers as a surprising destination compared to Nike’s global dominance, others believe it could offer Garnacho a more focused platform as he looks to reignite his career.
The timing of the boot switch is also notable, coming just days before United’s crucial Europa League clash with Lyon — a match that could determine whether this season ends in disaster or redemption.
Regardless of how the Skechers deal plays out, Garnacho remains a player to watch, both for his performances and the headlines he creates beyond the pitch.
