Alejandro Garnacho’s influence grows! Cristiano Ronaldo’s son does his homework wearing Man Utd star’s shirt – with Argentina prodigy idolising CR7

The 20-year-old winger once worked alongside five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo at Old Trafford. Garnacho has never hidden his admiration for CR7, despite being an Argentina international team-mate of Lionel Messi.

• THE GOSSIP

  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.

    WHAT NEXT?

    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.
