Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho sends Cristiano Ronaldo message

Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has branded Cristiano Ronaldo the GOAT (greatest of all time) in an Instagram post.

United forward Garnacho is a huge fan of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and is in the rare position of being close to both superstars. Earlier this year the 18-year-old forward took to social media to send his best wishes to Argentina colleague Messi on his 35th birthday. In the story post, Garnacho shared a picture of himself with the former Barcelona ace with a goat emoji at the bottom.

Now, he has done the same for his United teammate Ronaldo.

Ronaldo took to Instagram on Wednesday with a post of him back in training as United prepare for Thursday's Europa League game with FC Sheriff. The Portuguese was dropped from the squad to face Chelsea last weekend by manager Erik ten Hag after refusing to come on as a substitute in a recent game against Tottenham.

But he posted a picture to his 492 million followers of him in United training, with the caption: "Back on track, with the same commitment and dedication as always!"

And Garnacho responded simply with three goat emojis - signalling that he holds Ronaldo in the seem esteem as he holds Messi.
