Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho was spotted poking fun at Douglas Luiz’s infamous celebration after Aston Villa’s 2-1 home defeat to the Red Devils in February.

United went to Villa Park in desperate need of a win over their top-four rivals to stay in touch with the Champions League race and managed to come away with all three points.

The visitors took the lead through Rasmus Højlund after 17 minutes, before Luiz equalized for the hosts from a corner.

However, the Brazilian was clearly enjoying his goal as he dropped to his knees inside the box in front of the United defense to pull off a shimmy before running off in front of the Holte End to kneel down and celebrate with his fans.

United would ultimately have the last laugh after Scott McTominay won the match in the 86th minute, although Luiz appears to have touched a nerve with his antics, with Garnacho and Co still clearly not forgetting his celebration.

In a video posted on social media, Garnacho, Amad Diallo and Willy Kambwala can be seen training and celebrating.

Garnacho then walks away with his arms out before dropping to his knee and trying to pull off one of Luiz’s shimmies, though he doesn’t quite attack it with the same gusto.

Man United fans on X, formerly Twitter, were quick to enjoy their youth taunting a rival player, with one writing: ‘Nah, random offence. Luiz really made a meme of himself.

Another was looking forward to seeing the players duke it out on their next trip to Villa, adding: “It needs to be done ahead of Aston Villa away.”

Not everyone was impressed, however, with a number of Villa fans commenting on snapshots of the Premier League table, which has Villa fourth on 56 points and United nine points behind in sixth.

Others took the opportunity to point out that while United’s players were mocking a party over a month ago, Luiz was busy on international duty with Brazil.

One rival fan wrote: ‘Weird to make everyone aware they are sitting at home on international week still bothered by someone celebrating a goal?

‘Douglas Luiz is too busy to answer as he has actually been called by his country. Maybe they should be more concerned with that?’

Another said: ‘These parties are petty and I love it,’ followed by a laughing emoji.

And a third added: ‘Imagine mocking someone who is a better player than them,’ accompanied by two more laughing emojis.

United are next in action on Saturday 30 March after the international break when they visit Brentford, before trips to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea four days later.

Villa, meanwhile, will continue their bid to hang on to fourth place with the visit of near neighbors Wolves on March 30, before a mouth-watering tie with Manchester City the following Wednesday.
