Alejandro Garnacho's unacceptable actions anger Ruben Amorim

Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has come under fire for his reaction to being substituted against Ipswich Town, which could have a major impact on his career at the club.

Controversial Reaction

In the 3-2 win over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford, Manchester United were down a man from the first half after Patrick Dorgu was sent off. Manager Ruben Amorim decided to take Garnacho off in the 43rd minute and bring on Noussair Mazraoui in a tactical change. However, instead of staying on the bench, Garnacho headed straight down the tunnel, raising questions about his attitude.

After the match, Garnacho explained that he wanted to change his shirt due to the heavy rain. However, Amorim insisted that he would have a private conversation with the player, showing that he does not take the issue of player attitude lightly. Under Amorim, Manchester United are trying to build a disciplined and cohesive squad, so any signs of unprofessionalism or discontent are being closely watched.

Garnacho's Tough Journey

Garnacho was dropped for the Manchester derby last December but has struggled to regain his place. However, his recent actions have left many frustrated. Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Dean Saunders told talkSPORT Breakfast: “He’s on thin ice, Garnacho. No Man United player has the right to complain about being substituted. Look at where they are in the table. If he continues to argue with the manager and react negatively when he is substituted, he will ruin his career.”

Garnacho was considered one of Manchester United’s brightest prospects, but frustrations have grown as he has struggled to get regular playing time. He only played 45 minutes against Ipswich and was only a substitute in the previous game against Everton.

Playing Time Status

Former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has said that Garnacho is one of the few creative players the club currently has and that he “must be played” to reach his full potential. However, manager Amorim has yet to show any preference for the 20-year-old, raising concerns about Garnacho’s future at the club.

Manchester United Future

Manchester United may be forced to consider selling Garnacho in the summer of 2025 to help ease their financial woes. This is particularly important after a £40m bid from Napoli was rejected in January. Although Garnacho has been instrumental in the club’s form this season, with eight goals and six assists in 38 appearances, his future remains uncertain.

With debts of up to £731m, Manchester United are struggling to find a way to balance their books, and Garnacho could be one of the names that could help them earn a significant amount of money if transferred for a fee of £60m or more.

Criticism of Alejandro Garnacho is growing after his inappropriate reaction to being substituted in the match against Ipswich Town. This action not only affects the player's personal image but could also have a major impact on his career at Manchester United in the context of the team's financial difficulties.
