Garnacho, aged 20, was substituted in the first half after Patrick Dorgu received a red card.

Manager Ruben Amorim replaced the Argentinian winger with Noussair Mazraoui, a player known for his defensive capabilities.

Garnacho’s reaction to the substitution appeared negative, as he seemed to head directly to the tunnel.

Fans criticized Amorim for the decision, with many describing the substitution as “garbage”.

Despite the substitution drama, Manchester United secured a win, with Harry Maguire scoring the decisive goal.

Following the game, Garnacho posted a photo on Instagram that seemed to express his displeasure at being taken off.

In a post-match interview, Amorim was questioned about Garnacho’s demeanor.

The manager referenced Marcus Rashford, currently on loan, in his response, suggesting parallels in player behavior.

Amorim stated he intends to discuss Garnacho’s tunnel incident with the player privately.

Garnacho later returned to Instagram, sharing a photo of the team celebrating Maguire’s goal, accompanied by a positive message.

The caption read: “Important three points! Team.”

This apparent shift in Garnacho’s public attitude sparked reactions from fans online.

Many fans speculated about the reason for the change in tone, with comments like: “PR team got hold of his phone at last,” “Ruben read him the riot act,” and “Someone’s had a talking to.”

Throughout the season, Garnacho’s performances for Manchester United have been inconsistent.

He has scored only three Premier League goals in 26 appearances.

Club legend Roy Keane recently commented on Garnacho’s performances, suggesting he is currently better suited as a substitute rather than a starter.

Keane implied that Garnacho lacks the consistency to be a trusted starter and is more effective coming off the bench.

Rio Ferdinand, however, defended Garnacho, highlighting his courage compared to some teammates.

In January, there were rumors of a potential transfer, with clubs like Chelsea and Napoli reportedly interested in signing him.

Although a move in January did not happen, Garnacho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain.

Manager Amorim has indicated that player sales may be necessary for any significant squad restructuring at Old Trafford.
