What punishment did Ruben Amorim gave to Alejandro Garnacho for walking down the tunnel?
The turmoil at Manchester United continues in the Premier League, despite securing all three points in a crucial six-pointer game against Ipswich Town. After going a goal down and a man down in the first half, the players fought hard to register a 3-2 victory. However, it was Alejandro Garnacho’s behavior that dominated post-game discussions rather than the team's achievements.
While Ruben Amorim had stated he would address the issue with Garnacho, the Argentine international went on to post a cryptic photo on his Instagram story, ruffling multiple feathers. In response, Ruben Amorim spoke about the situation during his press conference ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round tie against Fulham. Discussing the incident and the follow-up conversation, Amorim explained that Garnacho came to his office after the game.
The Portuguese manager conducted an investigation and discovered that the forward had stayed in the dressing room, watched the game, and then went home. While Amorim does not view the incident as a major issue, he acknowledged that for a club of Manchester United’s stature, perception is important. Amorim also revealed that Garnacho would be required to pay for dinner for the entire team as a form of penalty.
He came to me, to my office
I did some investigation. He [Garnacho] went to dressing room, watched the game, then went home. It is not an issue but I told him that at Manchester United everything is an issue. At this club, perception is important, perception is important.
He will pay for dinner for all the team. That is it.
Who will Manchester United play next until the international break?
Before heading into the international break starting from 18th March, Manchester United will feature across three competitions, which could determine the trajectory of their season. The club's underwhelming campaign has the potential to improve significantly if they remain focused during the upcoming matches. United will play in the FA Cup 5th round, face Real Sociedad in the Europa League Round of 16 across two legs, and compete in two crucial Premier League fixtures. In the Premier League, they will face Leicester City and Arsenal. However, for all FA Cup and Premier League fixtures leading up to the international break, Patrick Dorgu will be unavailable.
