Following Manchester United’s recent disappointing performance, the fallout has begun, and Alejandro Garnacho finds himself at the center of discussions after the game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Garnacho’s early substitution after just 45 minutes by manager Erik ten Hag surprised many supporters.
The decision prompted Garnacho to post a cryptic reaction on Instagram, hinting at his dissatisfaction with the situation. Additionally, activities on Garnacho’s official X account revealed that he had ‘liked’ tweets criticizing the manager’s post-match comments.
This incident adds to the existing tension surrounding Ten Hag, who has faced his fair share of disputes since taking over in 2022.
Previous public disagreements have been swiftly dealt with by the manager, as evidenced by Jadon Sancho’s fallout with Ten Hag, resulting in the player’s exclusion from the team.
While one would hope that Garnacho has better advisors, this situation is likely to stir up controversy in the aftermath of the game.
Ten Hag is scheduled to address the media ahead of next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final, and it is hoped that tensions will have subsided by then.
