Angel di Maria tells Manchester United ace Alejandro Garnacho to stop copying Cristiano Ronaldo
Angel Di Maria:
"If I were Alejandro Garnacho, the only thing I wouldn't do is celebrate like Cristiano Ronaldo. I would do like Leo Messi does."
Di Maria added: "He is a very fast player, he has incredible ability. He is going to gain it with experience and coming to the National Team, it is a place where you learn a lot and continue to improve. It helped me a lot to grow technically in every way, it is spectacular.
There are not many players who get to play alongside both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in their professional careers, never mind while still being teenagers.
Alejandro Garnacho is one of the lucky few. He broke into the Manchester United first team, playing up front alongside childhood idol Ronaldo and has been called up to the Argentina side alongside Lionel Messi.
It is priceless experience that will stay with the United teenager for the rest of his career, but Di Maria believes the Argentine international should look to embrace his links to Messi more than those to Ronaldo.
The Benfica ace is hugely impressed with what he has seen from Garnacho so far but he admits he wouldn't encourage him to celebrate like Ronaldo due to his international links with his great rival.
