The brutal message Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim delivered to Alejandro Garnacho has been revealed and it would indicate that the Argentine has played his final game for the club.
Garnacho was a substitute in United's 1-0 Europa League final defeat to Spurs last Wednesday, playing less than 20 minutes as the Red Devils pushed for an equaliser.
But the 20-year-old was not happy to have been left out of the starting XI and spoke to reporters in the mixed zone, stating that he was "going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next".
Garnacho's brother, Roberto, slammed Amorim's decision to bench him with a furious social media post where he accused the Portuguese of throwing him under the bus.

Garnacho was left out of the matchday squad for the final game of the season against Aston Villa - but a day prior it emerged that Amorim, who confirmed he would be staying put, had told Garnacho to find a new club.
Amorim made the comment in front of the entire United squad at Carrington and days later, the Daily Mail have reported the exact cutting comment from the former Sporting CP boss.

According to a fresh report, during the team meeting last Saturday, an angry Amorim told Garnacho, "You better pray that you can find a club to sign you," as he effectively ended his United career on the spot.
The former Atletico Madrid youngster has travelled with United for their post-season tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong but it looks extremely unlikely that he will be back for pre-season training in July.
Asked about Garnacho's situation following the 2-0 win over Aston Villa, Amorim said: "He is a Manchester United player that is not in the squad today, but he continues to be a Manchester United player."
Garnacho has been heavily courted by Chelsea and Napoli, who reportedly expressed interest in signing him during the January transfer window.

United are believed to value Garnacho at around £60 million and his sale would be considered pure profit on the balance sheet because of his homegrown status.
Garnacho made his first-team debut against Chelsea in 2022 and has made 144 appearances for the club, scoring 26 times and winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
