Alejandro Garnacho posts a cryptic post after Ruben Amorim's criticism
Manchester United have finally secured their first win in their last four Premier League games after a lot of effort against fellow relegation-battling Ipswich Town. The Red Devils hosted the match and did not disappoint their home fans. Despite going behind and receiving a red card, the club went on to secure all three points. Amidst this, the controversy surrounding a player walking down the tunnel has resurfaced, with Garnacho being substituted early in the game and walking off down the tunnel.
What did Ruben Amorim say about Garnacho’s walk down the tunnel
Just before halftime, Manchester United player Dorgu was shown a red card for a challenge on Omari Hutchinson. With the team reduced to ten men in one of the most important games, Manchester United manager Amorim substituted the Argentine to bring on Mazroui, aiming to shore up the defense. The manager, wanting to adopt a more controlled approach with aerial dominance, decided to take off Garnacho. Amorim also mentioned that he would speak to the player privately but would address the situation with journalists if necessary in the next press conference. He said in his post-match duties:
What I'm saying is I'm going to talk obviously with Garnacho about that. So I will talk about that if you want in the next press conference
It was cold and wet, maybe? The thinking was we'd play more in the 5-3-1. I know that is a risk because you are taking one - maybe the only player who has one against one pace, but I felt the team was okay in the controlling of the game, almost half time, then you make the substitution. We have to choose someone to go out, we have to think about set pieces also, so it was Garnacho.
How did Alejandro Garnacho react to the comments?
In response to the statement, Garnacho posted a story featuring an image of himself with a solemn expression. This could suggest he has mixed feelings about the manager's decision and may be questioning the situation.
