Garnacho idolises Ronaldo, and it would appear that said respect works both ways. Georgina Rodriguez has shared an image on social media of Cristiano Jr completing his studies in the Saudi Arabian sunshine while wearing a United away shirt with 'Garnacho 17' on the back.

There has been talk of Garnacho one day inheriting the No.7 shirt in Manchester that Ronaldo once wore with such distinction. For now, he has been moved to 17 – with England international Mason Mount continuing to occupy an iconic jersey previously worn by the likes of David Beckham, Eric Cantona and George Best.

Cristiano Jr may one day get the chance to stake a claim for that shirt himself, as he continues to impress in Al-Nassr’s academy system. He is looking to follow in the most illustrious of footsteps, with his legendary father still going strong at 39 years of age.
