Young prodigy Garnacho put on an excellent display despite the loss to Chelsea, netting two goals in a row to increase his tally of goals in the Premier League this season to seven.

Former star player Nani was quick to commend the player who was born in 2004 after seeing his outstanding performance. Nani shared with Mirror what she said:

.

“I saw that Garnacho and I played similarly when I watched him play. In addition, he was sporting the same number—17—that I had wore when playing for Manchester United.

He’s had a great season, and I’m glad to see him lead his teammates in scoring or creating opportunities for them. Manchester United’s future lies with Garnacho.

Garnacho has recently been under scrutiny for being a lot like his childhood hero, Cristiano Ronaldo. Nani disagrees with this viewpoint, though.

“Compared to Ronaldo, he plays more like me. He is a talented player, and I’m hoping he can help Manchester United win lots of championships.

There is no denying Garnacho’s affection for Cristiano Ronaldo. There are many similarities between Garnacho’s style of play and the Manchester United icon, namely his explosive pace and precision finishing. But Garnacho’s celebratory style has also drawn notice, drawing comparisons to Ronaldo beyond simply his on-field prowess.

Even though Alejandro Garnacho genuinely admires Ronaldo, several of his colleagues, most notably Arturo Vidal and Angel Di Maria, have criticized him for his celebrations. Another Argentine, Di Maria, voiced his disdain, saying he would rather celebrate goals in his own special way, like Lionel Messi, than copy Ronaldo.
