Alejandro Garnacho Sent Wembley Invite That Didn't Go Down Well With Man Utd Teammates and Staff

Manchester United players and staff were left 'rolling their eyes' after seeing who Alejandro Garnacho invited to one of their most important games of the season.

Against all odds, United lifted the FA Cup in May last year after goals from Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo sealed a memorable 2-1 win over Manchester City at Wembley.

United's players celebrated long into the night. Erik ten Hag was soaked in champagne, Bruno Fernandes made a heartfelt speech on stage, and Harry Maguire could be heard chanting Neil Diamond classic "Sweet Caroline".

But one of the big talking points was the surprise appearance of YouTube personality and Cristiano Ronaldo superfan IShowSpeed.

IShowSpeed, real name Darren Watkins, was sat in the stands at Wembley as United defied the odds. In fact, videos emerged of the American getting into a heated argument with supporters.

Yet, the YouTuber was invited to the after-party and both he and Garnacho performed Ronaldo's trademark 'Siuuu' celebration before Speed attempted to replicate his overhead kick against Everton.

Speed also met Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo, but a report ahead of Saturday's clash between Chelsea and United suggests there was discontent at his presence.

Garnacho is said to have invited Speed to the event, which brought plenty of eye rolls from United players and staff, according to The Mail. In fact, one former United player said: "In our day, the dressing room would have sorted him out."

The report would go on to disclose some 'untold tales' from Garnacho's time at United.

It is said senior players could find him 'exasperating', and a number of examples were noted, including Bruno Fernandes admitting that the Argentine "did not have the best attitude" on tour.

Fellow countryman Lisandro Martinez also tried to guide him, but with limited success. "Garnacho could be sulky and petulant, and took criticism very badly," the report adds.

"He was immature at times and showed it with his posts on social media. He had to apologise to Ten Hag for liking a comment criticising his substitution against Bournemouth and then a dig at the United boss by Ronaldo."

Garnacho also sparked controversy in June, when he decided to post a picture of himself wearing an Aston Villa home kit with 'Rashford 9' on the back.

Marcus Rashford appreciated the nod of support, but many United fans reacted badly to the picture, including United Stand host Mark Goldbridge, who commented on the post: "Bang out of order to all of us who have backed you. It's a big up yours to United fans."

Goldbridge would later vent about Garnacho's decision to wear a Villa shirt as he spoke about the incident in a video on The United Stand's YouTube channel.

"What he has done there is basically put a rival clubs shirt on, said 'up yours' to every Man Utd fan, and also – let's call it for what it is – this is disrespectful, and he's lowering his own value to get the move he wants," said Goldbridge.

"He wants to go and play for Aston Villa, so he's trying to lower his value to get a move. He's behaving like an absolute t***."

Garnacho is likely to feature for new club Chelsea on Saturday as they come up against United at Old Trafford.
