Manchester United winger, Garnacho, is potentially facing suspension after a controversial social media post. The 19-year-old Argentine international, who was a pivotal player for United in their recent Champions League victory, found himself in hot water following an Instagram post. Garnacho was one of several United players paying tribute to goalkeeper Andre Onana on social media. However, it was his use of two Gorilla emojis alongside a congratulatory image that caused the stir.

Following the backlash, Garnacho quickly edited his original post, removing the contentious emojis, but the damage had already been done. Users on the platform were able to view the post for about 15 minutes before it was deleted.

The Football Association is likely to charge Garnacho with a breach of social media rules, similar to past instances involving other players. For instance, in 2020, Edinson Cavani received a three-match suspension and a £100,000 fine for a social media post. Garnacho’s case highlights the increasing scrutiny of players’ online behavior and the potential consequences of their actions.
