Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have both been compared to Manchester United's rising star in the same breath, indicating that the Red Devils have a hybrid of both icons ready and waiting in their ranks. Although Ralf Rangnick's team is struggling right now, the future looks bright for them.

The future of Manchester United seems bright now that one of their youth stars is developing, despite the fact that they are currently caught in a rut.

The Red Devils have already been eliminated from all cup competitions, and they will be fortunate to qualify for the Champions League next season given their pursuit of fourth place. Their battle with Arsenal and Tottenham, both of whom are competing for the same place as United, will be intense, with both London clubs having an advantage of a game over the Red Devils.

Despite this, the future of Manchester United appears bright, as a period of significant change is predicted for the club, and one of its young players is beginning to garner a great deal of attention. So much so that, at the age of 17, he has already been compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the world's best players.

After scoring multiple goals for Manchester United's youth team, Alejandro Garnacho, a 17-year-old striker, has been promoted to the first team. There were some eyebrows raised this week when Argentina's senior team included a player who was born in Spain.

Despite the fact that he is yet to make his complete United debut, Garnacho has been called up to the Argentina squad in an attempt to emulate a feat they achieved with Lionel Messi when the two players were of a similar age. In order to dissuade Messi from choosing Spain, the South American team called up the Barcelona star as soon as feasible. They've used the same strategy with the outstanding Manchester United star.

Garnacho's participation is all the more impressive given that he is younger than Messi was at the time of his call-up. In contrast to the United prodigy, who was selected at the age of 18 and is now a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner,

Garnacho's future is still up in the air, but the Spanish daily SPORT has stated that the United kid was one of the'most excellent strikers' in Atletico Madrid's youth system, according to the publication. Although United paid the player approximately £400k in compensation after signing him back in 2020, the club considers him to be more of an attacking midfielder.

As previously reported by the Daily Mail, Garnacho has subsequently signed a professional deal with Manchester United, and it is now assumed that he would accept the 'dream' Argentina offer. "Now he will fulfill another [dream]: wear the Argentine shirt, that of his mother's nation, and practice alongside Lionel Messi and the champions of South America," the article stated.

Despite the fact that he is being compared to Messi, the youngster is anticipated to come into the United team in the same way as Cristiano Ronaldo did. And it's very fitting that Garnacho will be able to make his professional debut at the age of 18 exactly 20 years after the Portuguese sensation did so in 2003.

When Garnacho is not playing out wide for United, he can be found playing centrally. The 17-year-old has even been seen in the academy mimicking Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration. His speed and talent, similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, causes concern among defenders, and he is anticipated to add physicality to his game as well.

After a superb performance against Wolves, the 17-year-old has assisted in propelling the United Under-18 team to the FA Youth Cup final. He also scored a stunning goal to send them on their way. Garnacho has scored a total of 15 goals in all competitions for the Under-18s so far this year.

Former United players are also impressed with his growth." MUTV spoke with Febian Brandy, a former Manchester United player "A full-worst back's nightmare, he's. He has the ability to cut either side or inside. Throughout the game, he makes it difficult for the opposition's defense. He possesses exceptional ability and has a promising future."

Garnacho, on the other hand, will devote his attention for the time being to Argentina before returning to Manchester United in April. The 17-year-old is one of five teenagers who have been called up to the national team for their World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador, where they will be joined by a wealth of experience.

Garnacho has been selected by manager Lionel Scaloni alongside PSG stars Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria, and Leandro Paredes, in what must be a dream come true for the youngster. Julian Alvarez of Manchester City, Manuel Lanzini of West Ham United, and Alex MacAllister of Brighton have all been included to the 33-man squad.

When Argentina takes on Venezuela on March 25 before traveling to Ecuador, Garnacho might make his international debut. Brazil leads the South American qualification table with a four-point advantage over Argentina, which is currently in second place.
