Teenager ‘has high potential to do some amazing things’Bruno Fernandes backs Marcus Rashford after scoring penalty
Erik ten Hag believes Alejandro Garnacho has the talent to do “amazing things” for Manchester United but insisted it would be wrong to compare the teenager to Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo after his stunning overhead kick against Everton.
The 19-year-old evoked memories of Rooney’s goal against Manchester City in 2011 and Ronaldo’s strike for Real Madrid against Juventus in the 2018 Champions League quarter-finals with a remarkable finish from Diogo Dalot’s cross at Goodison Park. Ten Hag was delighted with how United handled a hostile environment ahead of trips to Galatasaray and Newcastle this week, with Everton fans protesting against their club’s 10-point penalty for breaching financial rules.
