Garnacho’s Wonder Goal Was Better Than Mine – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to react to Alejandro Garnacho’s stunning bicycle kick against Everton. He recently compared it to his strike against Manchester City, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he cannot remember if his own strike was with the shin or not, but Garnacho’s was better because he definitely scored the wonder goal with that part of his leg.

Rooney added that Garnacho’s goal was the better goal, but he scored his own in a better game.

His words, “I have always said, it is actually harder to score with your shin! I honestly don’t know [whether it struck my shin or my foot]. I think Garnacho’s was better. I think Garnacho’s goal was a better goal, but I think doing it against Manchester City was a better game.”

Neville added, “I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium where I’ve seen an overhead kick as good as that, and I was there on the day Rooney scored in the Manchester derby. That was unbelievable, what we’ve just seen. This atmosphere has been silenced somewhat. He moves back two or three short shuffled steps. Wow. That is a magical, magical goal. I think we’ll see that a few times.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
