Bruno Fernandes commends Alejandro Garnacho’s extraordinary goal in Manchester United’s triumph over Everton, emphasizing that the young Argentine has the potential to become a standout talent.
Garnacho displayed his considerable skills with a remarkable overhead kick, contributing to United’s 3-0 victory in the Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Fernandes expresses awe at the goal, describing it as “amazing” and believes it highlights Garnacho’s capability to evolve into one of the world’s top players.
Additionally, Garnacho pays tribute to former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo by emulating his celebration.
Fernandes cautioned that it is too early to suggest Garnacho can emulate Ronaldo’s remarkable career, but he expects great things from his young team-mate, who arrived from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
“Probably he’s watching too much Cristiano clips! We all know that he’s a big fan. Still a long way for him to be like Cristiano but he’s getting his steps,” Fernandes said.
“He wants to be something special in the world of football and I think he has the capability to do that, but he has to do more than that goal!”
Garnacho wasn’t the sole standout United teenager at Goodison Park; Kobbie Mainoo, a fellow FA Youth Cup winner, thrived in his inaugural Premier League start.
Despite recently recovering from an injury sustained in United’s pre-season tour, the 18-year-old midfielder delivered a performance that defied his young age.
“I talk always about Kobbie,” Fernandes said. “I think he’s a special player too.
“Obviously, people will not talk as much as they will about Garnacho because Garnacho scores goals, does assists and everything. But what he puts on the game, what he gives to the team, it’s known to anyone.
“I think he has great players in front of him to learn from because he plays with one of the best in the world like Casemiro.
“That’s probably the best capability he has because he wants to learn every time. He’s eager to listen to everyone to get better and better.”
