Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag dismisses comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Alejandro Garnacho after Everton win
As soon as Alejandro Garnacho scored the overhead kick against Everton, comparisons between him and Cristiano Ronaldo took over the world of football. The 19-year-old has been a huge admirer of the Portuguese forward and similar scenes were witnessed at Goodison Park after he did the 'Siuuu' celebration.
However, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has dismissed the comparisons by saying that everyone should have their own identity. He added that Garnacho has to work a lot and show his consistency to reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo or Wayne Rooney. He said in his post-match press conference (via The Mirror):
"Don't compare, I don't think it is right. They all have their own identity, but for Garnacho to go that way he has a lot to come, he has to work very hard."
"We have already often seen glimpses, but if you want to be a player like Rooney or Ronaldo you have to score 20, 25 goals in the Premier League each season. That's not easy to get, you have to work hard, you have to go in areas where it hurts."
After winning against Everton, the Red Devils have moved to the sixth spot in the Premier League table with 24 points. Next up, Erik ten Hag's side will visit the RAMS Park to face Turkish Champions Galatasaray on November 29 (Wednesday) in the UEFA Champions League.
