A member of the attacking ranks at Premier League giants Manchester United has moved to reveal his admiration for Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr.
This, of course, comes fresh off the Brazilian’s latest scintillating display on the continent.
Real Madrid marked their return to action late on Wednesday evening, welcoming Bayern Munich to Spain’s capital for the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final tie between the clubs.
When all was said and done in proceedings, Los Blancos, as proves the case year after year, managed to get the job done, Joselu emerging from the bench to net a late match-winning brace.
And yet, whilst the veteran Spaniard proved himself difference-maker when it comes to the scoreline, it is that man Vinícius who has garnered the bulk of the plaudits post-match.
The 23-year-old was in near-unstoppable form over the 90 minutes on Wednesday, terrorising Joshua Kimmich from his berth on the left wing, and taking the creative load on his back when it looked as though Real Madrid were out of ideas during the 2nd-half.
Vini has since been labelled the favourite for the next Ballon d’Or by head coach Carlo Ancelotti, as his ascent into one of world football’s standout performers continues.
And, as alluded to above, one individual who was quick to make clear his appreciation for Vinícius’ latest exploits was Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho.
Taking to his official Instagram account, Garnacho, a talented winger himself, unveiled the following comment under a post of Real Madrid’s main man:
“best player in the world”
