He played with Rooney at Manchester United, now he says Garnacho's goal was much better

Manchester United and Alejandro Garnacho left one of the best postcards of the moment. The Argentine striker scored one of the best goals of the moment and for many, it would be better than several goals that have been seen in the club's history, such as Rooney's legendary bycicle kick against Manchester City a few years ago. In fact, now a team legend confesses that he likes Garnacho's more than his former teammate's.

“The one from (Alejandro) Garnacho,” Rio Ferdinand clearly responded in his podcast Vibe with Five when choosing between Alejandro Garnacho's goal and that of his former teammate Wayne Rooney. The former Manchester United defender stated that “one went with the shin guard, the other with the boot. Sorry, Wazza. That goal is better than (Wayne) Rooney's. He was running away from the goal, a little further from the goal, at an angle. It was incredible, an impressive moment.”

The Argentine winger's kick goes straight into the Premier League museum. A work of art that, in Rio Ferdinand's house, they experienced in style: “I was in the living room, with my family, and we went crazy. It was crazy. Even my little son, who had just lost a tooth, was trying to kick over his head in the living room, like probably millions of little kids around the world at that time.”

The celebration as CR7 caused controversy

Alejandro Garnacho celebrated his already historic bicycle kick goal against Everton with Cristiano Ronaldo's “siu”. The Garnacho celebration received harsh criticism from Chilean soccer player Arturo Vidal. Furthermore, some Argentinians might not take the gesture well. Of course, it was no secret that the player is a fan of the Portuguese footballer.
