Alejandro Garnacho ‘likes’ post criticising Erik ten Hag after Man Utd draw vs Bournemouth | Football

The 19-year-old was substituted at half time after United registered a dismal first-half display in which Bournemouth took the lead twice through Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert.

Bruno Fernandes equalised for United in the first half and then pulled his team level from the penalty spot in the 65th minute, but the draw leaves Ten Hag’s side with just one win in seven Premier League games.

In two posts on X, United social media influencer Mark Goldbridge labelled Ten Hag’s decision to substitute Garnacho as a ‘joke’ and criticised the United manager for ‘criticising ‘blaming’ the Argentine winger in his post-match press conference.

‘Garnacho has been one of our best players this season,’ Goldbridge posted during the game.

When asked about his decision to replace Garnacho with Amad Diallo at half time, Ten Hag said:

Asked if that was the reason why Garnacho was substituted, Ten Hag replied: ‘I think we had to repair over that right side.

‘We didn’t play well, the spaces were there in possession, we had to bring a sub there.

‘Garnacho was not training during the week, only yesterday, we thought bring some energy, bring some more quality, quality in the sense of co-operation, togetherness on that right side.’
