British Legend, Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Lionel Messi unfollowed Alejandro Garnacho on Instagram due to the Manchester United winger’s preference for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fans spotted back in April 2022 that Messi had unfollowed Garnacho, with the youngster posting a picture of Ronaldo at the time alongside a message declaring the Portuguese the greatest of all time (GOAT).
According to the Red Devils defender, Argentina international team-mate, Messi is no longer a fan of the teenager on social media because Garnacho, who briefly worked alongside Ronaldo at Old Trafford, has made no secret of his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.
“You know what I like about him? He doesn’t give a f*ck. Garnacho told me that Messi unfollowed him just because he makes no secret of preferring Ronaldo. He comes out, don’t care, ‘I’m a Ronaldo man’. Who’s the GOAT? Ronaldo. (Even) when he’s in the Argentina squad.” Ferdinand said.
