Manchester United's FA Youth Cup hero Alejandro Garnacho has paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo following his two-goal haul at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
Garnacho, who made his United first-team debut against Chelsea last month, scored two second-half goals to help United's Under-18s beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 to secure their first Youth Cup crown in 11 years. United took an early lead through captain Rhys Bennett but were pegged back just before half-time through Forest ace Josh Powell.
However, United restored their lead with just 12 minutes left on the clock when Garnacho dispatched a controversial penalty. He added his second of the night and netted United's third in stoppage time to wrap up the victory.

He then stood looking up into the Stretford End with his arms held aloft, again replicating Ronaldo. After the game, the youngster took to Instagram to share a collage of images, displaying the similarities between Ronaldo's celebration and his own.
