Manuel Serrano Salazar (born 20 March 2004) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left-back for Real Madrid Castilla.
Serrano was born on 20 March 2004 in Pinto, Madrid, Spain. [1]
As a youth player, Serrano played for local clubs Quintana and Ciudad de Pinto before joining the youth academy of Getafe. In 2018, he joined the Real Madrid youth academy at the age of 14. After progressing through the youth teams, he began playing for Real Madrid C, making 66 appearances and scoring 2 goals. In 2023, he was officially promoted to Real Madrid Castilla, where he has made 13 appearances in competitive matches. [1]
During his time in the youth setup, he won honours such as the Copa de Campeones Juvenil (Youth Champions Cup) in 2023. Serrano has also represented Spain at under-16 level, appearing in official youth internationals. [2] [3]
Serrano is primarily a defender, known for being fast, agile, and strong. He has been praised for his ability to complement defensive partners effectively and has also demonstrated attacking contributions, notably scoring with an overhead kick in the 2023 Copa de Campeones final, reminiscent of Gareth Bale’s goal in the 2018 Champions League final.
