In the match against Ipswich Town in the early morning of February 27, Alejandro Garnacho returned to the starting lineup of Man United.
At the end of the first half, Patick Dorgu received a red card and Man United played with one less player while leading 2-1. Coach Ruben Amorim decided to take Garnacho off the field, replacing him with Noussair Mazraoui - a player with a defensive tendon.
This decision did not seem to make Garnacho happy. After leaving the stadium, he went straight into the tunnel and went to the dressing room in a uncomfortable way. This rough act made fans worried about the team's discipline.
At the same time, coach Amorim also received criticism when he replaced Garnacho. The Argentine played enthusiastically and provided an additional threat on the left wing from the start of the match. Some people thought he should take Zirkzee or Hojlund off the pitch.
Amorim did not react at all in the match when he saw his player's attitude, but at the post-match press conference, he said he would meet the 20-year-old player to talk about.
"I will obviously talk to Garnacho about this. I will talk more about the interview if you want to in the next press conference."
"I think we will defend better with a 5-3-1 formation. I knew it was a risk to take a player out at the speed limit, but I felt the team controlled the game quite well. We have to choose one to leave the pitch, and when I think about set pieces, I choose Garnacho," Amorim added about the substitution decision.
In the end, Man United won 3-2 against Ipswich, thereby rising to 14th place in the rankings.
