Biography
Carlo Domenico Sartori is a former professional footballer who made history becoming the club's very first non-British or Irish player to play for the 1st team. A skilful midfielder with excellent vision, Sartori progressed through United’s youth system during the 1960s before going on to enjoy a respected playing career in England and Italy.
Early Life and Youth Career
Sartori was born in the small town of Caderzone in Trentino, northern Italy, but his family emigrated to Manchester, England, when he was a young boy. Growing up close to Old Trafford in Collyhurst, Sartori quickly developed a love for football and joined Manchester United’s youth ranks. His technical ability and intelligence on the ball made him stand out at a time when foreign-born players in English football were a rarity.
