Garnacho’s strike at Brentford on Sunday took him to 24 United goal involvements, one away from matching Ronaldo’s tally before reaching the age of 21.
With the Argentina international not celebrating his birthday until July, there’s every chance he can equal or even surpass our former no.7, who assisted Alejandro's maiden senior goal in November 2022, against Real Sociedad.
But, for now, Garnacho is concentrating on the here and now, as United prepare for the Europa League second leg against Athletic Club at Old Trafford.
“I’m not focused on the numbers. I think when Cristiano played here, he was a different footballer, [they were] a different type of games,” he said, at Wednesday’s press conference.
