Alejandro Garnacho's Manchester United journey is already mirroring Cristiano Ronaldo

Becoming a regular international could be exactly the type of experience Garnacho needs to break into the Manchester United starting lineup more regularly, and with each week the youngster is starting to mirror the early career of former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ever since the Argentine performed the iconic ‘SIU’ celebration in the FA Youth Cup last year the comparisons between the two players emerged, but what started as a gimmick may turn into a more legitimate correlation.
