There's little reason for euphoria at Manchester United right now. The Red Devils suffered their 14th defeat of the season at the weekend, losing 1-4 to Newcastle United, and remain stuck in the middle of the Premier League table.

One positive, though: a gem is currently giving the 14th-placed team hope for a better United future.

Alejandro Garnacho scored the temporary equalizer at St. James' Park. A goal for the history books? Not quite. The 20-year-old coincidentally surpassed one of the greatest players of all time with his 21st Premier League goal.

In the Red Devils jersey, CR7 had scored 14 league goals by the time he turned 21. Garnacho already has 15 goals to his name since yesterday's game. Does this mean United currently have a future Ballon d'Or winner in their ranks who will shoot the club to a Champions League title in a few years?

No idea. But in these tough times for the club, there's at least someone giving the fans some hope.
