Rio Ferdinand claims Lionel Messi UNFOLLOWED Argentina team-mate Alejandro Garnacho because the Man United forward openly prefers Cristiano Ronaldo

Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Lionel Messi unfollowed Alejandro Garnacho on Instagram because the Manchester United forward openly prefers Cristiano Ronaldo.

Garnacho netted one of the best goals in Premier League history on Sunday with a sensational overhead kick, scoring the opener during Manchester United's 3-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park.

After firing his acrobatic effort past Jordan Pickford, the 19-year-old starlet performed Cristiano Ronaldo's trademark celebration as he wheeled away towards the corner flag.

Garnacho has long been an admirer of the Portuguese and former Red Devils superstar, publicly admitting Ronaldo is his idol.
