Marc Jurado Gómez (born 13 April 2004) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a right-back for Premier League club Manchester United.[3]
Early life[]
Born in Sabadell, Catalonia, Jurado started his career at the age of four, with local side Can Rull. He was noticed by a Barcelona scout for his goal-scoring ability. However, Jurado wanted to switch to handball to play as a goalkeeper, as well as stay with Can Rull to be with his friends, and rejected Barcelona's initial advances.[4]
Club career[]
Early career[]
After giving the offer some consideration, Jurado ended his three-year spell with Can Rull and joined Barcelona's youth academy in 2011.[4][5] Early into his career with Barcelona, he scored one of the quickest goals ever scored by the Spanish club at any level - notching a goal after 5 seconds against Viladecans.[6]
Manchester United[]
In May 2020, Jurado began being strongly linked with English Premier League side Manchester United, having rejected the offer of a contract extension at Barcelona.[7] He announced his departure from the Catalan club at the end of June, further fuelling rumours of his move to the Red Devils.[8][9] Eventually, after a delay in paperwork being finalised, the signing was completed, and Jurado was announced as a Manchester United player in September 2020.[10][11]
He signed his first professional contract with United in April 2021.[12][13]
International career[]
Jurado was called up to the Spain under-17 side on 25 May 2021 for the trainings in May.[14][15] Jurado was called up to the Spain under-18 side on 15 February 2022 for the friendly match against Denmark.[16]
Style of play[]
A natural right-back, noted for his good awareness, positional sense and pace, Jurado can also operate further up the right flank as a winger.[17]
