According to Squawka Football, Ronaldo and Garnacho are two foreign players under the age of 21 who have directly participated in more than 20 goals in the Premier League for Man United.
While Ronaldo has 14 goals and 11 assists, the Argentine star is not far behind with 13 goals and 7 assists.
Since his debut in the 2021-2022 season, Garnacho has gradually proven his ability. Last season, the Argentine striker scored 9 goals in all competitions. In the Man United shirt, he also scored 19 goals in 8 starting matches.
In his first two years at Old Trafford, Ronaldo only scored 15 goals in 90 appearances. During this time, the Portuguese superstar was constantly booed by fans because of his flashy, showy playing style, averaging 10 dribbles per game.
However, CR7 gradually changed his playing style and became the world's number 1 goalscorer. From a player who only knew how to dribble, Ronaldo in the most brilliant period of his career at Man United constantly improved his scoring stats. At the peak in his last 2 seasons at Old Trafford, he scored 68 goals in 102 appearances.
Similar to his idol, Garnacho is somewhat overusing his personal technique, leading to unnecessary losses of the ball. However, the 20-year-old star also knows how to smash the criticism directed at him with incredible goals. For example, the beautiful long-range shot against Leicester City in round 11.
In the Premier League this season, the young striker has 3 goals and 1 assist after 11 appearances. With the attacking philosophy that new coach Rubin Amorin wants to build at Old Trafford, Garnacho will likely improve his scoring ability, just like Ronaldo did for Man United.
