ALEJANDRO GARNACHO was branded a “Ronaldo wannabe” by Marcus Rashford’s inner circle before the two Manchester United outcasts became “brothers”, according to a stunning report.
Rashford and Garnacho appear destined for the Old Trafford exit door this summer, with Ruben Amorim set to exile the duo from his pre-season squad to force them out.

Rashford has not played for Man Utd since, and in January went on loan to Aston Villa where he scored four goals and added six assists.
Meanwhile, Garnacho managed to earn his place back and was a key but frustrating figure under Amorim until a public strop after the Europa League final saw the former Sporting Lisbon tell him in no uncertain terms to find a new club.
Both have been on holiday following the season, with Garnacho recently sharing a post on social media of him wearing an Aston Villa shirt with the name of “Rashford” and number nine on the back.
The 20-year-old’s outfit choice left many Red Devils fans furious.
Rashford replied to the post by saying: “My brother,” followed by a heart emoji.
And that label is a far cry from when the Argentine winger was once labelled as a “f***ing Ronaldo wannabe” by a member of the 27-year-old’s inner circle, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Garnacho’s admiration of the Portuguese legend is no secret, though it is also clear to see he still has some way to go in both skill and attitude before he truly hold a candle to such an icon.

The report goes on to explain how Rashford’s social media pages have previously been run by brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard.
Over the weekend an interview with Rashford emerged where he openly admitted he would “love” to play alongside Lamine Yamal at Barcelona, and even said he is willing to take a wage cut and position change to make it happen.
Speaking to Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer in Marbella, Rashford was asked whether he wants to play with Yamal one day, declaring: “Yeah, sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best. So hopefully, we’ll see…”
On moving from the wing to a central forward role, Rashford added: “For me as I’ve got older, the No9 position is becoming more comfortable, more natural.
“Things like playing with back to goal is becoming easier for me, you’re always in front of the goal and always dangerous.”
As well as Barcelona, Sun Sport has revealed how Eddie Howe wants to bring the Englishman to Newcastle as they prepare for a campaign in the Champions League next season.
Meanwhile, Garnacho has been left to his own devices along with his brother, Roberto, on social media, though both have proven themselves to lack a filter and often post what comes to mind in thinly-veiled criticisms of decisions made by Man Utd bosses.
He has been linked with a move to Serie A champions Napoli to reunite with Scott McTominay, though Sun Sport have exclusively reported how they will only go for one of him or Jack Grealish in a £45million deal.
Last week Man Utd learned they will face Arsenal on the opening day of the Premier League, with fixtures against Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all coming in their first eight games.
