Alejandro Garnacho, the rising star of Manchester United, has faced criticism for his celebration after scoring a sensational free-kick against Everton. Former Bayern Munich player Arturo Vidal questioned Garnacho's decision to imitate Cristiano Ronaldo instead of making a name for himself.
Garnacho's stunning goal and celebration
Garnacho's goal came just three minutes into the match, as he executed a brilliant overhead kick to open the scoring. Cameras caught his initial expression of disbelief, followed by his celebration in the style of his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. He jumped, swivelled, and shouted 'Siu!' just like the Al-Nassr superstar.
Vidal's criticism
Arturo Vidal expressed his disapproval of Garnacho's celebration during a Twitch stream, saying, "The only thing I didn't understand is why he celebrates like Cristiano? He has to make his own name. He is already a great player. It's good that he idolizes Cristiano, but he needs to establish his own identity. How can he celebrate a goal and make it memorable? I don't know, but he should find another way. Nevertheless, it was a great goal, no doubt."
Potentially the best goal in Premier League history
Garnacho's overhead kick has already sparked discussions about whether it could be considered the greatest goal ever scored in the Premier League . Even Roy Keane, known for his no-nonsense attitude, praised the Argentine's brilliance. Garnacho has now scored seven goals in 53 appearances for Manchester United.
