Alejandro Garnacho posts four-word comment on social media after angry reaction to Man Utd substitution

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho has posted a four-word comment on Instagram after angrily reacting to being substituted against Ipswich Town.

After Patrick Dorgu was sent off at the end of the first half for a poor challenge on Omari Hutchinson, Garnacho was taken off for Noussair Mazraoui as Ruben Amorim brought on another defender.

But Garnacho was not happy with the decision and elected to walk straight down the tunnel in disappointment - with Amorim asked about it in his post-match press conference.

He later took to social media to share a picture of him looking frustrated, without any caption.

However, he has since posted again on Thursday morning - expressing delight at the 3-2 victory which moved United up to 14th in the table.

He wrote: "Important 3 points! Team (strong emoji) @ManchesterUnited."

Garnacho was dropped by Amorim early into his tenure alongside Marcus Rashford, with both left out of the squad for the derby win over Manchester City.

Garnacho returned to the fold and has been in and out of the team and following the Ipswich triumph, Amorim discussed the Argentine going down the tunnel early.

“It was cold and wet, maybe,” the Portuguese said.

“The thinking was we’d play more in the 5-3-1. I know that is a risk because you are taking maybe the only player who has one against one pace but I felt the team was OK in the controlling of the game, almost at half-time.

“Then you make the substitution. We have to choose someone to go out, we have to think about set pieces also, so it was my choice.”

Amorim was then asked whether he was unhappy with Garnacho's behaviour and confirmed he will speak with the former Atletico Madrid academy player.

“You are making a connection with Rashford, right? I know, I know,” he added.

“What I’m saying is I’m going to talk obviously with Garnacho about that, so I will talk about that if you want in the next press conference.”

Garnacho has played 25 times for United in the Premier League this season, scoring three goals. United return to action on Sunday when they host Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round.
