Roy Keane tears into Alejandro Garnacho for not celebrating against Leicester City in his most furious rant yet

Garnacho didn't celebrate his goal against Leicester City.

Alejandro Garnacho should "get a job somewhere else” if he “can't celebrate a goal” for Manchester United, according to Roy Keane.

Last weekend, the Argentine winger came off the bench to score United's third in their 3-0 win over Leicester City but he refused to celebrate his goal, which brought questions from fans.

Bruno Fernandes later revealed that Garnacho believes he has "lost faith" from some of the Manchester United support.

"Garnacho scored a banger but didn’t celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans," Fernandes said. "I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do."

He added: "I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference makers. They are the ones who win us games. We want them to score every game but that isn’t going to happen."

Ahead of this month's Europa League clash against PAOK, Garnacho was involved in an exchange with a supporter who told the winger to "pass better, score a goal and work on your first touch". Garnacho appeared to reply, "Why are you not playing?".

Speaking on the latest episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, Roy Keane gave his not-so-subtle take on the incident at Old Trafford.

"Can I tell you something, whatever about this game and we know these younger players suffered but if you can’t celebrate a goal there’s something drastically wrong with this game," Keane began.

"Whatever is going on off the pitch for any player, it could be family stuff, when you score a goal, you work all week, you’re playing the game to score a goal. No criticism should ever affect you celebrating a goal."

Ian Wright interrupted with his thoughts on the situation. “For a 20-year-old, he’s still going through the journey of what he’s doing. That [fans’ criticism] affected him to the point where he didn’t celebrate," the former Arsenal forward said.

"That’s how much it affected him. He scored a great goal, but he’s worried about that. It’s the saddest thing in the world when someone scores and they don’t celebrate because of something that has happened."

Weight added: “He’s [Alejandro Garnacho] probably playing in anger. He can’t not think about it [the fans’ criticism]."

Roy Keane, however, wasn't having any of it. "When you score a goal there should be nothing else on your mind," he said. "They’re playing a game to score goals, they’ve got fans who have travelled and paid fortunes to get there, and he’s on about, ‘someone’s had a go at me’.

"People have travelled, you’ve scored a brilliant goal and enjoy it, get upset with people, and he can make his point on social media.

"Celebrate a goal, that’s what fans travel for. People make sacrifices to travel to watch Man United, he scores a brilliant goal, United are having a tough time and if a young player can’t enjoy scoring a goal for Man United do you know what he should do? Get a job somewhere else. If he’s working in a factory somebody would be giving him stick in the factory.

"There are idiots everywhere but my point is, when you score a goal, that’s gone. If he’s going to be upset with that – get a different job."

He added: "Why do they get worried about a guy on social media? What happens, they have a go at a player with their phones ready so you have a go back. Idiots, honestly."
