WATCH THE CLIP

Garnacho has found himself somewhat on the crosshairs in one of football's great rivalries. The youngster shared a dressing room with Ronaldo when the Portuguese superstar returned to Old Trafford for a second spell and is clearly influenced by his former colleague.But as an Argentina international there has been diplomatic pressure to drop the Ronaldo references and err more on the side of his international captain Messi. Sunday's events appear to show that it will take more than just a few gentle suggestions for Garnacho to change his ways.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The in-form winger will have a week on the training ground to hone any new celebrations for his side's mouth-watering trip to fellow top-four chasers Aston Villa next Sunday.
