Alejandro Garnacho has broken his silence on social media after being substituted in the first-half of Manchester United's win over Ipswich Town.

10-men Man United came from behind to beat Ipswich 3-2 at Old Trafford on Wednesday to return to the win column in the Premier League.

The Red Devils went behind early, but the hosts levelled when Sam Morsy converted into his own net, with Matthijs de Ligt putting his team in the lead.

Patrick Dorgu was then dismissed following a VAR review, with the visitors levelled proceedings moments later.

But before Ipswich equalised, Ruben Amorim shuffled his pack to accommodate Dorgu's red card.

He took off Garnacho for Noussair Mazraoui, with the Argentine winger cutting a dejected figure following the ruthless change.

He headed straight down the tunnel after being hooked just before the break.

In the second-half, Harry Maguire headed home his side's winner to justify Amorim's decision to take off the Man United winger.

After the result, Garnacho took to social media to express his disappointment at being replaced in the first-half.

He posted an image of himself looking disconsolate on his Instagram story, without any caption in a telling social media post.

Speaking after Man United's first league win since January 26, Amorim was asked about his decision to replace Garnacho following Dorgu's sending off.

"The thinking was that we were playing more in the 5-3-1, I know that is a risk because you are taking the only player who has one-vs-one and pace, but I felt the team was okay and in control of the game," he explained. "We had to take someone off, and we also had to think about set-pieces."

On the 20-year-old going to the dressing room when he was substituted, Amorim added: "I am going to talk with Garnacho about that."
