Cristiano Ronaldo, with his remarkable performances over the decade, served as an inspiration for emerging players. Alejandro Garnacho, the Argentine starlet of Manchester United, kept no secret in idolizing CR7 throughout his career. However, he made a recent change that raised eyebrows in social media, and may even upset the United legend.

Garnacho’s admiration for Ronaldo was portrayed on numerous occasions. He emulated the Portuguese legend’s iconic celebrations after striking goals in various games. Amidst such instances, the youngster altered his iPhone background months after Ronaldo departed from Manchester United.

What did Alejandro Garnacho reveal upon his arrival at Old Trafford?

Previously, the 19-year-old sensation was spotted on social media holding his iPhone that featured recreating Ronaldo’s napping celebration. The youngster marked his first goal for the club with this celebration against Real Sociedad. However, the Red Devils star replaced the picture on his lock screen with the celebration of his latest goal against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup match.

Alejandro Garnacho has consistently shown tribute to the United icon by wearing the identical boots from his 2009 Champions League semi-final game. The Argentine also changed his kit number to 17, which mirrored CR7’s early days in the national squad before donning no.7 jersey. Soccer fans speculated the change in his wallpaper might signal the aftermath of the dispute between Ronaldo and United during the 2022-23 season. Previously, Al Nassr’s captain expressed his frustration with Manchester United in Piers Morgan’s show, leading to his surprise departure from the club.

The 5x Ballon d’Or winner was ripped out of his contract with Manchester United with a mutual agreement in the midst of the 2022-23 season. He made 246 appearances and netted 145 goals for the Red Devils. However, CR7’s second spell turned out to be underwhelming with his constant disagreement with the coach and the club. Ronaldo revealed his frustration in an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan.

The Los Blancos legend highlighted the limited playing opportunities under Erik Ten Hag. He declined to participate in the games as a substitute, expressing disapproval of the manager’s decision. Ronaldo remarked on the interview. “I don’t have respect for him [ten Hag] because he doesn’t show respect for me. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you. I felt betrayed.”

However, CR7 experienced a turnaround in his fortunes during this ongoing season with Al Nassr. Ronaldo reached double figures with 10 goals in a league for the 18th consecutive season. Ronnie has already scored 30 goals for Al Alami in all competitions, portraying his illustrious performances in such twilight of his career.
