Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Lionel Messi unfollowed Alejandro Garnacho on Instagram.
Garnacho lit up the Premier League on Sunday, delivering an absolute stunner with a jaw-dropping overhead kick to open the scoring for Manchester United in the 3-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park.
The 19-year-old sensation didn't just stop there – he capped it off with Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'siiuu' celebration, adding an extra touch of flair to his already spectacular goal.

Ferdinand reveals why Messi unfollowed Garnacho
In the aftermath of Garnacho's goal and celebration, ex-United defender Rio Ferdinand praised the teenager, while dropping a bombshell.
Ferdinand said on his podcast Vibe with Five: "You know what I like about him? He doesn't give a f***.
"Garnacho told me that Messi unfollowed him just because he makes no secret of preferring Ronaldo."

"He makes no secret of preferring Ronaldo. "He comes out, doesn't care, "I'm a Ronaldo man". Who's the GOAT? Ronaldo. (Even) when he's in the Argentina squad."
Garnacho was dropped from Argentina's last squad by Scaloni but it is not reported to have anything to do with Lionel Messi.
However, it remains to be seen whether he will get recalled to the national team setup while Messi remains captain and leader of the group.
