Paul Scholes compared Alejandro Garnacho to a ‘young Cristiano Ronaldo’ after the 18-year-old starred on his full Manchester United debut in the Europa League win over Sheriff Tiraspol.
Scholes told BT Sport: ‘This crowd loves entertainment and this lad was really entertaining, almost like a young Cristiano.
‘I was impressed because some wingers can only go one way but he could do both which makes him so unpredictable.
‘I thought his performance was really exciting for an 18-year-old kid, he really is one for the future.’
Owen Hargreaves added: ‘He was exceptional, he had real quality. What I really liked was he was so direct. He has some tricks as well.
‘He had everything tonight, he was just missing a goal or an assist. When you think he’s 18, he was the most effective of all the forwards tonight.
‘I really enjoyed watching him. He’s definitely one for the future and one for now actually.’
