He started playing for Real Oviedo, later representing Celta and Rayo Vallecano, making his La Liga debut with the latter in 2011–12. In 2012, he signed with Swansea City, scoring 22 goals in all competitions and winning the League Cup for his first season.
Despite performances that earned him his international debut for Spain in 2013, Michu fell out of favour at Swansea and was released in November 2015.
Personal life
Michu bought shares in former club Oviedo in November 2012 as they continued to raise €2 million to remain afloat in the Spanish third division, as well as fellow Premier League stars Santi Cazorla and Juan Mata. "It's my hometown club, a club I love, so I hope it will be enough," he said on the official Swansea website about his love for his former club.
Hernán, Michu's older brother, was also a footballer. He too was groomed at Oviedo before playing for local teams and then moving to a managerial position; both players appeared together at Langreo in 2015-2016.

Michu scored the game's only goal in the first leg of the promotion play-offs against Granada CF at home on June 8; his side was disqualified (4–5).

Michu scored twice and provided an assist for Scott Sinclair in a 5–0 away win over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on his debut in league on August 18th. The first of his goals was also the first scored in the new top-flight season, and he later referred to his debut as "incredible."
Michu maintained his top-scoring charts by scoring the second in a 3–0 home loss to West Ham United on August 25th and the second in a 2–2 draw against Sunderland the following matchday.
Michu scored his first FA Cup goal on January 6, 2013, coming off the bench in an eventual 2–2 home draw against Arsenal in the third round and finding the net a mere 73 seconds after entering the pitch.

Michu's injury limited him to six competitive matches for the Italians, and he hadn't appeared for Swansea since April 2014, with his deal set to end in the following year.
