Youth career
Guillermo signed for Manchester United in the summer of 2013 from Peñarol following a successful trial with the first team. Although he's yet to feature at senior level for the club, his performances for the Under-21 side during the 2013/14 season have been of a high and increasingly improving standard. In January 2014 he was given compassionate leave due to his parents being involved in a car crash in Uruguay.
He joined Real Madrid on loan for the 2014/15 season and will play for their Castilla team.
International
Guillermo has represented Uruguay at Under-17 and Under-20 levels.
