“I have unsuspended him after his brother intervention…I hope he ha learnt his lesson”: Erik ten Hag bows to fans pressure, unsuspends Man United’s after suspending him due to his crazy celebration against Barnsley- He’ll now START against Crystal Palace.
Despite some off-field distractions, the team’s performance remains strong. Alejandro Garnacho recently drew attention on social media after liking an Instagram post where Cristiano Ronaldo criticized Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag. However, he quickly unliked the post, seemingly avoiding any major fallout.
The incident sparked fan discussions but didn’t result in any disciplinary actions. When Garnacho was left out of the squad for the win against Southampton, reports clarified that it was purely a tactical decision, not related to his social media activity.
In the following match, a midweek Carabao Cup fixture against Barnsley, Garnacho returned to the starting lineup, delivering an outstanding performance with two goals and two assists. His display underlined his resilience and justified Ten Hag’s faith in him.
During the game, Garnacho shared a light-hearted moment with Ten Hag when he was substituted for Amad Diallo, prompting a fan to suggest that the manager had moved past the earlier issue.
Garnacho’s younger brother, Roberto, also weighed in on the situation, stressing that mistakes off the field should be handled by delivering on the pitch, rather than shifting blame.
Ultimately, it appears that any potential tension between Garnacho and Ten Hag has been resolved, confirming that the situation was never a significant concern. Both the player and the team continue to move forward positively.
