IShowSpeed was seen celebrating Manchester United's FA Cup final victory against Manchester City, as he posed for photos with squad members and was seen attempting to recreate Alejandro Garnacho's incredible bicycle kick against Everton.

The popular YouTuber had traveled over from America to watch his side seal a 2-1 victory in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley. Garnacho would put United ahead, before Kobbie Mainoo doubled their lead nine minutes later, with Jeremy Doku pulling a goal back in the 87th minute.

IShowSpeed, renowned for posting his bizarre reactions online, had angered supporters trying to enjoy the match when he began shouting at fans nearby.

But it appears the unsavory incident didn't spoil his day, as videos emerged online of the YouTube star, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr, mingling with United's players during their end-of-season party.

He subsequently posted several pictures of him posing with Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, and even Erik ten Hag at the event on his Instagram. In one video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the YouTuber was seen shaking hands with goalscorer Garnacho.

The pair were seen in a hallway replicating Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siu' celebration, with both jumping in the air before striking the Portuguese superstar's iconic pose toward each other.

IShowSpeed then jumps into the air and attempts an overhead kick, while shouting 'Garnacho!' about the Argentine's overhead kick against Everton at Goodison Park earlier this season - which has been shortlisted for Goal of the Season.

The 19-year-old appeared to land on his lower back and seemingly hurt himself, before getting back to his feet, with Garnacho saying: 'Nice try, my guy' before hugging him.

The YouTuber was also seen in a separate video, showing Andre Onana a photoshopped picture of his and the Man United goalkeeper's faces together.

'I'm about to ask Onana about this picture,' he says, before showing the Cameroonian the image.

'Onana, you ever seen this picture?' he asks the shot-stopper. The Red Devils keeper is seen breaking out in a fit of laughter, before putting his arm around the YouTuber.

'They say you're better than me?' Onana replied to IShowSpeed, with the YouTuber responding: 'Yeah! I can goalkeeper bro!'

United had taken a 2-0 lead in the game, to which Speed was shown in the stands at Wembley attempting to galvanize his fellow supporters, asking them to match his energy.

'Come on yall, be wild, we're winning. What are you all doing?' he said, but his rally call fell on deaf ears, with one fan saying: ''Shut up? We're winning 2-0. It's 2-0, we're winning.'

Things subsequently got heated, with several fans telling the United fans to sit down.

Speed fumed: 'We support the same club' and repeated his comments as he sat back down.

Furious, he adds: 'What the hell is he mad for? What the f***. Sit down. What's wrong with you bro? I should've watched the game on my own.'
