After returning from matches against ASEAN All-Stars and the Hong Kong national team, Garnacho’s latest online activity has sparked further speculation about his future. ..Continue Reading
Despite reportedly being told by manager Ruben Amorim to seek a new club this summer, the 20-year-old participated in both friendly fixtures.
Previously, Garnacho voiced his frustration over his omission from the starting lineup in United’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, and his latest post may add to the tension.
Upon landing back in Manchester on Saturday, he shared an Instagram story featuring a photo of the team’s plane touching down, captioned simply: “Finally,” alongside emojis of a crying face, prayer hands, and a beach.
His apparent relief at the end of United’s disappointing season comes as discussions over his potential departure are expected to escalate in the coming weeks.
The rift between Garnacho and Amorim boiled over after the player was limited to just 20 minutes in the Europa League final, leading him to slam the campaign as “A s*** season.”
Garnacho’s brother soon poured petrol on the flames by accusing Amorim of scapegoating the player, claiming Garnacho had been “thrown under the bus” after the final defeat.
Despite the controversy, Garnacho was omitted from the team for United’s last Premier League game against Aston Villa, though he did join the team for their post-season tour in Asia, where he played in both fixtures.
Meanwhile, another United player, Amad Diallo, found himself in trouble in the Asian tour after he was spotted giving the middle finger to a supporter outside the team hotel in Malaysia.
Amad escaped any internal punishment and defended his actions on X, stating, “I have respect for people but not for the one who insults my mom…” He added, “I shouldn’t have reacted like that but I don’t regret what I did. We had a great time in Malaysia with good people.”
