Garnacho scores bicycle and copies Ronaldo's celebrationArturo Vidal criticizes copied celebration Says youngster has to be his own playerGettyWHAT HAPPENED?
A few minutes into the Red Devils' 3-0 victory, Garnacho stunned Goodison Park with an incredible bicycle kick that will probably end up as the Premier League goal of the year. Former Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Barcelona midfielder Vidal, however, questioned why the United winger celebrated his goal in the same way as Cristiano Ronaldo and questioned the celebration. Despite playing with Lionel Messi on the international squad, Garnacho has stated publicly that Ronaldo is his favourite in football. He also performed the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's celebration after beating Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

"The only bad thing or what I didn’t understand is why he celebrates like Cristiano?" said Vidal on Twitch [via The Metro]. "He has to make his own name. 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."

Garnacho's early goal set the tone for the match as the Red Devils eased past Sean Dyche's men, who are currently second from bottom after they were docked 10 points by the Premier League after they were found guilty of breaching the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules. The win helped the Red Devils string together two straight victories ahead of the crucial match against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
WHAT NEXT FOR GARNACHO?
The Argentine will next be in action tomorrow, November 28 when Manchester United take on Galatasaray with their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
