The manager of Manchester United, often referred to as The Red Devils, chose to substitute Argentine player Garnacho during a disappointing 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. The 19-year-old winger was replaced at half-time in that match, with Amad Diallo taking his place.

Following his substitution, Garnacho liked two comments from a YouTuber questioning the decision to take him off at halftime. According to reports from the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag, the manager, has since spoken with Garnacho about the matter, and it’s been addressed internally.

Explaining his decision to substitute Garnacho at the Vitality Stadium, Ten Hag told reporters, “I think we had to repair over the right side. We didn’t play well, the spaces were there. In possession, we had to bring a sub there. Garnacho was during the week not training. Only yesterday. We thought bring some energy and bring some more quality, quality in the sense of cooperation and togetherness on that right-hand side.”

It’s not clear whether Garnacho has faced disciplinary action for his actions, as the likes he made public were swiftly removed. He will be hoping to be included in Ten Hag’s plans when Manchester United play against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Sunday.
