They all have their own identity. For Garnacho to go that way, he has a lot to come, he has to work very hard and do it on a consistent base. So far, he has not but he definitely has high potential to do some amazing things.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/01hg6q88hf953wqx3eyf.jpg\" alt=\"Alejandro Garnacho\" title=\"Alejandro Garnacho\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Garnacho scored a remarkable goal \/ Robbie Jay Barratt \u2013 AMA\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cIt is not the first time we see this, we see often glimpses, but if you want to be a player like Rooney or Ronaldo, you have to score 20, 25 goals in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not easy to get, you have to work very hard and go in ways where it hurts. A lot to come but potential he has.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a fantastic goal. In the season, there are still many games to play but maybe already the goal of the season. Not only the finish, it was the back to the end. But the finish was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goal was just Garnacho\u2019s second in all competitions thus far this season, and he\u2019ll be hoping to add to that tally when he and Manchester United face off against Galatasaray in a crucial Champions League game in midweek.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"NNX95_gfM_s\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arsenal v Manchester City FA Community Shield 2023 | Preview Show\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NNX95_gfM_s?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik ten Hag has rubbished comparisons made between Alejandro Garnacho and Manchester United legends Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
