“I can’t bench him for you no matter how bad or awful he plays, he will always start all matches for Manchester United except when he’s injured”- Manchester United manager Erig Ten Hag says he has an untouchable player he can never sub off after snubbing a player who was already on the touch line against Bournemouth
In a close conversation with the Manchester United player, Erik ten Hag talked about Alejandro Garnacho’s social media behavior.
The YouTuber who questioned Garnacho’s removal at halftime during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth liked two tweets from him.
A United representative said that the problem was handled privately, but they wouldn’t say if Garnacho has been punished in any way. United pointed out that Garnacho quickly deleted the tweets.
United has used a different player for Garnacho in each of their last four games after he played the whole two-hour FA Cup quarterfinal win over Liverpool on March 17.
An article in the Manchester Evening News asked Ten Hag if Garnacho’s decision to not play against Bournemouth was tactical. “Ten Hag said, “I think we had to fix up the right side.” “We didn’t play well, and there were open spots.” In control, we had to bring a sub there.
“Garnacho didn’t train during the week.” Not long ago. On the right side, we thought, “Bring some energy and some more quality. Quality in the sense of working together and cooperating.”
Garnacho has started all 30 of United’s games at the Vitality Stadium this season. The 19-year-old is in the running for the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.
There will be questions about Garnacho’s behavior at Ten Hag’s news conference before the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry later this week.
