“They Have Messi, But He Celebrates Like Cristiano Ronaldo”- Alejandro Garnacho’s Mind Questioned For Copying Al Nassr Star

Scoring a phenomenal overhead kick reminiscent of Rooney’s, Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho turned back the time against Everton. Rather than his spectacular goal, however, his celebration has been a topic of discussion. Despite being an Argentina national, the player continues replicating Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ after his goals. On this note, a former Egyptian star questioned the player’s celebration, claiming he had something on his mind.

The Argentine sensation has emerged as one of the best players for the Red Devils in the attacking third, more so with his one-on-one play coupled with pace. The nineteen-year-old has found the back of the net three times for Manchester United in the league and will look to continue his form.

Mohamed Aboutrika’s questions Alejandro Garnacho’s goal-scoring celebration

Alejandro Garnacho sent Manchester United fans into a frenzy as he scored a stunning overhead goal at Goodison Park last month in the team’s 3-0 win over Everton. However, the player’s celebration following the goal bagged even more attention as the Argentine ran down the field before pulling off Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic celebration.

Former Egyptian soccer star Mohamed Aboutrika questioned the United starlet’s celebration during his recent appearance on a show. Aboutrika stated that he was surprised by the player’s celebration considering he comes from Argentina.

Aboutrika stated, “Garanacho is Argentine and they have Messi, but he celebrates like Ronaldo. There is definitely something on his mind.”

Alejandro Garnacho’s celebrations have raised a lot of questions among soccer fans. While many believe the player is paying tribute to his favorite star, some former players are not too impressed with his actions.

Alejandro Garnacho slammed for copying Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Barcelona star Arturo Vidal also questioned the youngster’s celebration, claiming rather than copying Cristiano Ronaldo, he has to be his own player. Vidal stated, “The only bad thing or what I didn’t understand is why he celebrates like Cristiano? He has to make his own name.”

Further, he added, “He is an already great player. It’s good that he is his idol, respect for that, but then he has to make his name. How are you going to celebrate a goal and remember it? I don’t know, celebrate it another way. But it was a great goal, it was a great goal.”
