We have a serious candidate for goal of the year in the Premier League, or even worldwide. Manchester United striker Alejandro Garnacho scored a superb scissor late Sunday afternoon during the match at Everton. A splendid gesture, achieved by the young 19-year-old Argentinian prodigy upon receiving a cross from Portuguese right-back Diogo Dalot in the 3rd minute of play.
Alejandro Garnacho celebrated his splendid bicycle by resuming, as he had already done, the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo, his idol and former partner in the Red Devils jersey. Before being celebrated by his partners on the Liverpool pitch.
The gesture is reminiscent of that of Wayne Rooney, also in the colors of Manchester United. The English striker scored a splendid goal in February 2011 with a similar scissor, but with an even greater impact as he succeeded in the derby against rivals Manchester City. Many Internet users quickly drew a parallel between the two gestures on social networks, others linking it to the scissors of Cristiano Ronaldo accomplished against Juventus Turin in the jersey of Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Born in Madrid to an Argentinian mother and a Spanish father, Alejandro Garnacho made his first caps for Argentina in 2023. After spending time with Getafe and Atlético de Madrid, the young striker joined Manchester United and the United Kingdom in 2020. He made his first team debut in the Premier League in April 2022. Against Everton, he is playing his eleventh league match this season. Marked by an anthology goal.
