Garnacho praised for performancesCompared to ex-Utd star RonaldoNani believes winger is more like himWHAT HAPPENED?
The Argentine youngster scored twice on Thursday to give Man Utd the lead against Chelsea, however, the Red Devils went on to lose thanks to a dramatic injury time at Stamford Bridge. Garnacho has been very highly appreciated by fans and pundits alike and has also been drawn to be very similar to five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. Nani, though, believes otherwise.

Speaking to , Nani said: "When I watch Garnacho, he reminds me of myself. He even has the No.17 shirt – the same number I wore. When he changed to that number this season, he started scoring some goals, so that's been good for him.
"He's not afraid of taking defenders on, making the runs, making assists. He's a very good player, he has so much time to improve his game and get stronger. He will be fantastic in the future. His game is more similar to mine when I was at United than Cristiano's. He's a very exciting player and I hope in the future he can win titles with the club and help it to be successful again.
"We're not used to being in this position in the table. We were always a team used to competing for first position. The last few years the team hasn't been able to do that, but we know it's a process and you have to readjust the team, the club."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite Garnacho's wonderful showing over the last couple of months, United have struggled to get the results and currently sit in sixth place with 48 points to their name. The Red Devils are still aiming for a Champions League spot but their hopes have diminished in recent weeks.
DID YOU KNOW?
During his stint at the club from 2007 to 2015, Nani won four Premier League titles, one Champions League, two League Cups and the Club World Cup. He also scored a lot of pivotal goals for the Red Devils but failed to garner the same plaudits as his other team-mates did.
