Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag said Alejandro Garnacho should not be compared with Wayne Rooney or Cristiano Ronaldo after his superb strike in Sunday’s 3-0 win at Everton, but admitted the young star has the potential to do "some amazing things".Teenager Garnacho silenced a fired-up Goodison Park after just three minutes with an overhead finish that will be a contender for goal of the season. "Don't compare, I don't think that's right. They all [the players] have their own identity," Ten Hag said at full-time. He went on to say that Garnacho has the potential to be "amazing" if he works hard enough.

00:00 How did you feel about the goal against Chelsea?
00:05 It was a fantastic goal.
00:10 There are still many games to play this season,
00:15 but probably already the goal of the season.
00:19 But, as I said before, not only the finish,
00:23 but also the total from the back to the end,
00:27 but of course the finish is incredible.
00:29 You don't compare. I don't think it's right.
00:34 They all have their own identity,
00:38 but for Canaccio to go that way,
00:40 there's still a lot to come.
00:43 He has to work very hard,
00:45 and you have to do it on a consistent base.
00:48 So far he's not, but he has definitely
00:52 a high potential to do some amazing things.
00:57 It's not the first time we've seen this,
01:00 we've often seen glimpses,
01:03 but if you want to be a player like you mentioned,
01:08 like Rooney or Ronaldo,
01:10 you have to score 20 or 25 goals in the Premier League.
01:13 That's not easy to get,
01:15 and you have to work very hard.
01:17 You have to go in areas where it hurts.
01:21 So, yeah, there's a lot to come,
01:24 lot to come but potential he has.
