Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho Incident
Manchester United’s winger, Alejandro Garnacho, recently found himself in hot water after liking social media posts that criticized the manager’s handling of the player. This led to a conversation between Garnacho and Erik ten Hag.
Background
During their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, Garnacho was taken off at half-time. Following this, he liked two messages on social media by YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, expressing dissatisfaction with Ten Hag’s treatment of the player.
The Liked Messages
- One message suggested that Ten Hag was blaming Garnacho in a subtle manner during the post-match press conference, insinuating that the manager was unfairly targeting the young player.
- The other message criticized the decision to take Garnacho off at half-time and highlighted the unfairness of holding him solely responsible for the team’s performance.
Afterwards, Garnacho promptly ‘unliked’ both messages, indicating remorse. The club addressed the issue internally, with a United source confirming that the matter had been resolved.
Comparison with Previous Incidents
This incident draws parallels with Jadon Sancho’s past social media post, where he felt unjustly treated and eventually faced consequences within the team structure.
It is essential for players and managers to maintain a healthy relationship and address any concerns internally to avoid such public disagreements in the future.
