Paul Scholes being proved right after identifying Man Utd's "young Cristiano Ronaldo"

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is seeing his comparisons between Cristiano Ronaldo and Alejandro Garnacho proved right as the Argentine youngster continues to show his quality.

Garnacho, 18, was given his debut last season by Ralf Rangnick. He has taken it up a notch this term under Erik ten Hag, however, and scored his third senior goal over the weekend as United claimed a 2-0 victory over Leeds.

Retired midfielder Scholes played with Ronaldo when the Portugal international was a teenager and watched him grow into a Ballon d'Or winner at Old Trafford. The ex-England international saw parallels between Ronaldo and Garnacho in October, and the latter has only improved further in the months since.
