Alejandro Garnacho has the potential to be one of the best players in the world, according to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, after drawing Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo comparisons for his wonder goal in a 3-0 win over Everton on Sunday.

Garnacho, 19, scored a spectacular overhead kick in the third minute at Goodison Park with a strike similar to Rooney's against Manchester City in 2011. Ronaldo also scored an acrobatic bicycle kick for Real Madrid against Juventus in 2018, but Ten Hag said that despite Garnarcho's bright future, he has work to do before he's considered on a par with two of the game's greats.
