Alejandro Garnacho should stop ‘copying’ Cristiano Ronaldo and should carve out his ‘own name’ in football.
That’s according to former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.
Garnacho scored one of the best strikes in Premier League history on Sunday when his acrobatic overhead kick put United 1-0 up against Everton at Goodison Park.
The goal was reminiscent of Ronaldo’s famous overhead against Juventus in the Champions League in 2018.
Garnacho, who has made no secret of the fact that Ronaldo is his idol, celebrated by copying the Portuguese legend’s iconic celebration.
But Vidal says Garnacho should have celebrated the goal in a ‘different way’ and shouldn’t ‘copy’ Ronaldo.

‘The only bad thing or what I didn’t understand is why he celebrates like Cristiano?’ said Vidal.
‘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 put United on their way to a well-earned 3-0 win at Goodison.
It was a good start to a crucial week for United, which includes trips to Galatasaray and Newcastle United.
