Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has outlined what Alejandro Garnacho needs to do to apologise to his teammates.
Garnacho, 20, was substituted in the 44th minute during United’s 3-2 Premier League victory over Ipswich Town on Wednesday.
Following Patrick Dorgu’s red card, Amorim decided to strengthen the defence by bringing on Noussair Mazraoui, who joined United’s back five. ..Continue Reading
Instead of joining his teammates and the United staff in the dugout, Garnacho walked along the touchline and headed straight down the tunnel.
After the match, Amorim stated that he would “talk” to the 20-year-old.
At a press conference on Friday, ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Fulham at Old Trafford, Amorim was asked about the incident.
“He came to me,” said Amorim.
“[It] was funny because the next day he came to me to my office. I did some investigation, and he went to the dressing room, changed his clothes because he was wet, he watched the game not on the bench and at the end of the game, he was there and went home. So, there is not an issue there.
“He’s a young kid that will learn. The important thing was the next morning he was speaking with me.”
Amorim then explained what Garnacho would do to make it up to his teammates.
“But I told him at Manchester United everything is important and the perception in a big club is really important,” Amorim added.
“So, he is going to pay a dinner to all the team, and that’s it.”
“I think he understands,” the 40-year-old explained when asked if Garnacho understands his stance on the matter.
“But, like I said, (the players) read everything, all the small things. And I know the players quite well, I played for quite a while, I understand they are frustrated.”
Garnacho has struggled to nail down a starting spot in Amorim’s team and has failed to score since Man United’s 3-0 win against Leicester City on November 10.
