Manchester United fans have taken to social media to declare Alejandro Garnacho’s overhead kick against Everton one of the goals of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garnacho’s outrageous effort gave United a third-minute lead at Goodison Park amid vocal protests from the home fans about the Premier League’s decision to deduct the Toffees 10 points for breaching financial rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the Argetine winger took control of the action on the pitch with his second goal of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And fans of Erik ten Hag’s side were quick to crown it one of the strikes of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One posted on X (formerly Twitter): ‘Nah genuinely this is insane WOW’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘Nah this has argument to be top 5 goals ever. Are we really taking in what this kids just done? He checks, has to run backwards, over head kick into the far top corner? Simply outrageous.’<\/p>\n
Many were quick to compare the goal to a similar strike from former United favourite Wayne Rooney.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rooney’s spectacular effort came in a Manchester derby in 2011 and is remembered as one of the greatest goals in Premier League history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And supporters on X felt the ex-United captain would have enjoyed the 19-year-old’s strike.<\/p>\n
One posted: ‘I know Wayne Rooney is somewhere clapping his hands like crazy’<\/p>\n
Another posted: ‘That is better than Rooney\u2019s in 2011, the fact he\u2019s back-peddling, one of or perhaps the best goal in Premier League history.’<\/p>\n
On Sky Sports commentary, Gary Neville agreed with a number of online fans in suggesting the goal was better than his former team-mate’s overhead kick.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This atmosphere has been silenced somewhat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans online were quick to praise Garnacho following his sensational goal at Goodison Park<\/p>\n
‘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.’<\/p>\n
Others were also keen to put the goal in the wider context of the greatest seen in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
A fan said: ‘Goal of the season that by a country mile nothing will come close.’<\/p>\n
Another compared it to Gareth Bale’s goal against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
