Manchester United’s preparations for their FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City have been disrupted by allegations of Alejandro Garnacho undermining manager Erik ten Hag.
The team was already facing significant defensive injury issues ahead of their match against Coventry at Wembley on Sunday. Now, Ten Hag has had to address concerns regarding Garnacho’s social media activity. Garnacho liked two tweets from a YouTuber that criticized his substitution during United’s Premier League draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
A spokesperson for United informed the Manchester Evening News that the matter was handled internally, but did not clarify whether Garnacho faced direct disciplinary action. The club noted that Garnacho promptly unliked the tweets.
Regarding Garnacho’s substitution against Bournemouth, Ten Hag explained, “We felt the need to strengthen our right side. Our performance was lacking, and there were opportunities. We needed to make a change in possession.”
“Garnacho hadn’t been training during the week, only joining yesterday. We decided to inject some energy and enhance cooperation and team cohesion with the substitution.”
