In the win over Ipswich, Man United played with one less player when defender Patrick Dorgu received a red card. After that, Ruben Amorim had a controversial situation when he replaced Alejandro Garnacho and let Noussair Mazraoui onto the field, thereby maintaining a system of 5 defenders.
After Garnacho was substituted, the Argentine striker walked along the touchline and then went straight down the tunnel at Old Trafford instead of sitting on the bench. The 20-year-old striker also posted a photo on his personal Instagram page while walking towards the tunnel. This photo has led social media to speculate that Garnacho has a disagreement with Ruben Amorim.
After that situation, Amorim said he would talk to Garnacho privately. The 40-year-old strategist shared that at that time he had considered other options.
"The very next day, Garnacho came to my office. When I asked, I realized that his shirt was wet so I needed to change it immediately. Garnacho watched the rest of the match in the dressing room. After that, he went home.
Garnacho is a guy who has a lot to learn. The most important thing he did was come to my office to share. Both Garancho and I share the same view that if there is any problem, the interests of the club must be put first. Therefore, Garnacho only needs to pay for dinner for everyone and that's it" - Ruben Amorim shared before the match against Fulham in the 5th round of the FA Cup.
With just a few words, Amorim has dispelled all rumors about the broken relationship between him and Garnacho. In fact, Garnacho is currently the one Amorim has the most high expectations for. The Argentine striker is considered the remaining bright star in the "Red Devils" attack after Amad Diallo was injured. In addition to Marcus Rashford coming to Aston Villa, M.U's left wing is currently only held by Garnacho.
In the winter transfer window, among many positions on the pitch that were still having problems, Amorim prioritized the first left-back position. When Dorgu arrived, he was considered the supporter and overlapped with Garnacho, helping the striker to play better in the coming time. Obviously, Amorim's biggest favor has been given to Garnacho and the striker understands that.
The relationship between Garnacho and Amorim is considered very strong, so the recent incident, if it happened in the direction of Garnacho putting it straight in the tunnel and not greeting the coaching staff, it should be understood in the direction of the suddenness of a young talent. Now, when everything has been resolved peacefully, Garnacho is expected to tear Fulham's net in the 5th round of the FA Cup to take Man United to the next step.
