Rashford finalized his loan switch on Wednesday, referring to Camp Nou as his “home” and becoming just the second English player in a century to represent the club after Gary Lineker. ..Continue Reading
He’s the first of five players United are actively trying to offload during the summer window.
Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Garnacho are also expected to depart, as the club looks to reduce its wage expenses and generate funds for new signings.
Among them, Garnacho is seen as United’s most valuable asset, with recent reports placing his valuation at £40 million.
The 21-year-old reportedly fell out with manager Ruben Amorim after the Europa League final loss to Tottenham, where he publicly questioned the decision to leave him out of the starting lineup.
After Rashford’s move was announced on Instagram, Garnacho responded with an enthusiastic “Lets gooooo” and two emojis mimicking Rashford’s signature celebration.
His online behavior has repeatedly annoyed United fans. Just last month, he posted a photo wearing an Aston Villa jersey with Rashford’s name on it, referencing his teammate’s loan spell there.
Garnacho has also shown support for posts criticizing former manager Erik ten Hag, while his brother Roberto has frequently taken aim at Alejandro’s coaches and fellow players.
His latest comment has been interpreted as yet another slight toward the club, leaving many fans increasingly frustrated with his conduct.
‘Let’s make one thing clear, Alejandro Garnacho has lost all of love and respect from true Manchester United fans himself with his social media activity,’ one fan wrote.
‘Mistakes after mistakes in social media have consequences and today he did another one under Rashford post on IG by celebrating his move to Barcelona.’
Another United fan praised Rashford for securing the exit he wanted with minimal fuss, slamming Garnacho in the process.
‘Good work from Rashford. Didn’t create any controversy by saying pathetic things while leaving and accepted that this is the next step.
‘Garnacho should see that given that he hasn’t been able to secure a place anywhere. Not even a single suitor for him.’
Another commented: ‘A little humility from the man who got dropped for Mason Mount in a cup final wouldn’t hurt’ with another adding: ‘This guy will end up playing in the Korean league soon. Ego of Ronaldo and woth the talent of Mudryk.’
