But, for us fans, Garnacho's impressive figures should elicit respect and patience. We're expecting a lot from this lad, and so far he has delivered plenty. But let's not forget the challenges of the period of United history in which he is learning his trade.
When Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford for the 2006/07 season, his fourth campaign, he hit a three-year run of form that the Premier League still acclaims to this day. That period delivered three consecutive titles for our club, plus a Champions League and a Club World Cup.
No-one is expecting Garnacho to match that same, infernal pace over the next couple of years. But the steady rise of Ronaldo between 2003-2006 teaches us that even all-time greatness must be encouraged, nurtured and, more than anything, supported.
