Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez believes his team-mate and compatriot Alejandro Garnacho “has no ceiling” and has given the young Argentine a “bright future”.
Garnacho made his full debut for Manchester United when they took on FC Sheriff in a Europa League group stage match earlier this week. Although he didn’t record a goal or an assist, he was impressive for the Old Trafford team.
He gave the Sheriff’s defenders a hard time with his cunning and speed until Erik ten Hag substituted the Argentine for Donny van de Beek in the 79th minute of the match.
Garnacho also drew praise from Manchester United legend Paul Scholes after his impressive performance against FC Sheriff. Scholes compared the Manchester United winger to a young Cristiano Ronaldo. He also described Garnacho’s performance against Sheriff as exciting for an 18-year-old.
