Alejandro Garnacho makes comparisons of Cristiano Ronaldo and says football was “different” at that time

Alejandro Garnacho rejected comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo during his first spell at Manchester United and said that football was “different” at that time.

Garnacho’s goal in defeat 4-3 in Brentford Sunday It was his 14th in the Premier League: the same number that Ronaldo managed before his 21st anniversary in the colors of the United States.

International Argentina does not celebrate 21 years until July 1, so it has an excellent possibility of passing in front of the Ronaldo Tally, which the Portuguese managed after signing the United from the Sports CP in 2003.

Garnacho will have to go to combine Ronaldo

Since that moment, Ronaldo’s career has brought him to different levels, winning league titles in England, Spain and Italy, as well as five gold dances and is still strong with the side of the Saudi League al-Nassr.

Asked today, Garnacho said there was little to compare football now and more than 20 years ago.

He said, “I do not focus on the numbers. When Cristiano played here, it was different football and different types of games.

“I simply try to help the team and try to win games. We train very hard, me and all the upcoming ups. I think we are getting better and we are trying to do it better.”

Garnacho: We are not doing a great job

United Ruben Amorim’s head has not made a secret of his frustration with the current United squad, calling them the “worst in club history”, but Garnacho avoided the man sitting by his side at this afternoon press conference to preview the semi-final of the Europa League of tomorrow night, the second round against Bilbao Atlético.

He added: “We know that we are not doing a great job at the Premier League, but the manager said before, we follow the rules and for us, it is a final.

“If we win the Europa League we will be in the Champions League and we can face the following season with a better mentality.

“It’s not easy in the middle of the season when you change a manager and all the staff, but in my opinion, it’s always trying to work hard every day and trying to show the manager I need to play. This is the only thing I have to do.”
