ALEJANDRO GARNACHO recreated another Cristiano Ronaldo celebration after scoring for Manchester United against West Ham on Sunday.
The 19-year-old put United 2-0 up just after half time when his shot deflected off Nayef Aguerd and past Lukasz Fabianski.
He immediately wheeled away in celebration, running straight towards the advertising boards before taking a seat with his hands on his hips.
After the game, the winger admitted: “The celebration had some inspiration.”
And many fans are convinced that Ronaldo, his idol, was behind it.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner first used the celebration during his time at Real Madrid.

However, Garnacho’s Argentina team-mate Angel Di Maria warned him against celebrating like Ronaldo just last week.
He told Argentine outlet Ole: “The only thing I wouldn’t do is celebrate Cristiano.
“I would score the goal and I would do like (Lionel) Messi does. I’ll stick with that.”
Garnacho scored again for United in the 84th minute and did the same celebration in front of the home fans at Old Trafford.

“Poor guy, we drove him crazy. We also talked to him about what the group is, somehow we try to make them feel part of it and feel comfortable.
“Although in this case he got very nervous and couldn’t talk. But as he said, I think he is his idol, he always followed him a lot and he plays quite similar.
“So it’s normal, nothing happens. Obviously, when he comes to the national team he has to change a little bit because there is ours.”
