Which one was the most beautiful now? Which would you prioritize the most? Rooney's or Garnacho's?Most people would argue that Garnarcho's goal was against Everton and Rooney's was against Manchester City, others would also take into account the time of the goal, the distance to the goal, the presence of defenders, and the fact that Rooney scored the winner while Garnarcho scored the first. Also, Nani's ball from the right side deflected off Pablo Zabaleta, forcing Rooney to produce a powerful strike. As for Garnacho, Dalot's cross was flying high and away from the goal. However, in my opinion, both goals were essential and will always rank among the greatest in Manchester United and football history.
