Alejandro Garnacho admits he's 'different' to long-time idol Cristiano Ronaldo as Man Utd academy graduate gives honest update on his future

Premier League

Chelsea

Manchester United

<p>The Argentine's adoration for Ronaldo has been well-documented, and they played together for a brief period at United in the 2022-23 season. However, in a press conference this week, the young winger has claimed that he is "different" to the Portugal captain, noting the contrasts between Old Trafford during CR7's heyday and the club today.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Garnacho has typically been one of United's better performers in recent seasons, although <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alejandro-garnacho-problem-man-utd-three-month-goal-drought-attitude-issues-ruben-amorim/bltf898d29b86655002" target="_blank">this campaign has been a difficult one</a> for him. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old has bags of potential and a recent strike against Brentford took him to 24 United goal involvements in all competitions, one away from matching the tally Ronaldo set before he reached the age of 21.</p><br><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Asked about being compared with his hero, Garnacho said: “I’m not focused on the numbers. I think when Cristiano played here, he was a different footballer, [they were] a different type of games." </p><p>Garnacho has been linked with a summer transfer, but when quizzed on his future, the attacker added: "Yeah, obviously as a footballer, you always going to hear some rumours about the future. But I have a contract here until 2028, so I’m happy here."</p><br><br>

WHAT GARNACHO SAID

<p>The United youngster has a golden opportunity to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-transfer-targets-win-europa-league-champions-league-qualification/blt31a7cb7a2108078f" target="_blank">win a first European trophy </a>as the Red Devils eye up a potential Europa League final against fellow Premier League underperformers Tottenham Hotspur. First, though, Amorim's team must do the job against Athletic Club in the semi-final second leg and secure their entry into the final, having won the first leg in Spain 3-0.</p>
