The teenager liked messages on social media criticising Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag, and could now face severe consequences for his actions
Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho finds himself in hot water after reportedly liking two posts on social media that criticized his manager, Erik ten Hag. The incident has prompted showdown talks between the teenager and Ten Hag, echoing a previous social media debacle involving Jadon Sancho.
A Disappointing Match Performance
Garnacho's troubles began when he was substituted at half-time during Manchester United's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth. The decision came amidst a string of lackluster performances by the Red Devils, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning Ten Hag's tactics.
Following Garnacho's substitution, tweets from Mark Goldbridge, host of the popular fan channel the United Stand, lambasted Ten Hag for his decision and his post-match comments. Garnacho, with a substantial following on social media, was found to have liked both tweets, sparking controversy.
Goldbridge's tweets defended Garnacho's contributions to the team and criticized Ten Hag's handling of the situation. The incident has sparked debates among fans regarding player management and communication within the club.
Private Talks and Internal Resolution
Manchester Evening News reported that Ten Hag took Garnacho aside for private discussions regarding his social media activity. While the club addressed the matter internally, details about potential disciplinary actions remained undisclosed.
During his post-match press conference, Ten Hag seemed to indirectly criticize Garnacho's performance, suggesting a lack of effort and defensive contribution. These comments further fueled the controversy surrounding Garnacho's substitution and subsequent social media activity.
Echoes of Past Issues: The Sancho Saga
Despite the controversy, Garnacho has been a standout performer for Manchester United this season, contributing nine goals and four assists across various competitions. His talent and potential make him a valuable asset for the club, but his recent actions have cast a shadow over his future.
Garnacho's social media mishap draws parallels to Jadon Sancho's situation earlier in the season. Sancho's public disagreement with Ten Hag led to his exclusion from the first team and subsequent loan move back to Borussia Dortmund.
As Manchester United navigates through yet another social media storm, the club must address the issue swiftly and effectively to maintain harmony within the squad. The incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of managing modern footballers in the age of social media scrutiny.
