Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed exactly what Alejandro Garnacho will need to do to apologise to his teammates.

Garnacho, 20, was withdrawn on 44 minutes during United’s 3-2 victory against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Amorim, 40, decided to replace the Argentine in the immediate aftermath of Patrick Dorgu’s red card, with the Portuguese deciding to shore up the defence by introducing Noussair Mazraoui, who slotted into United's back five.

The winger walked along the touchline before going straight down the tunnel rather than joining his teammates and the United staff in the dugout.

After the match, Amorim explained that he would “talk” to the 20-year-old.

The United head coach was asked about the situation in a press conference on Friday ahead of Sunday’s clash with Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup, which will take place at Old Trafford.

“He came to me,” said Amorim.

“[It] was funny because the next day he came to me to my office. I did some investigation, and he went to the dressing room, changed his clothes because he was wet, he watched the game not on the bench and at the end of the game, he was there and went home. So, there is not an issue there.

“He’s a young kid that will learn. The important thing was the next morning he was speaking with me.”

Amorim then explained exactly what Garnacho would do to make it up to his teammates.

“But I told him at Manchester United everything is important and the perception in a big club is really important,” Amorim added.

“So, he is going to pay a dinner to all the team, and that’s it.”

“I think he understands,” the 40-year-old explained when asked if Garnacho understands his stance on the matter.

“But, like I said, (the players) read everything, all the small things. And I know the players quite well, I played for quite a while, I understand they are frustrated.”

Garnacho has struggled to nail down a starting spot in Amorim's side and has failed to score since United's 3-0 win against Leicester City on November 10.
