Manchester United faced a disappointing loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday, leaving young winger Alejandro Garnacho frustrated over his limited playing time. Garnacho was only brought on in the 71st minute, sparking reactions on social media and raising questions about his future at the club. Former striker Gabby Agbonlahor has now weighed in, suggesting Garnacho should consider leaving Old Trafford, especially after the Argentine’s brother subtly criticized Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim.
Garnacho’s frustration comes amid a turbulent period for United. Without Champions League football next season, the club faces financial constraints and the possibility of offloading players. Their poor showing in the Europa League final has intensified scrutiny on Amorim and doubts about his ability to rebuild the squad. This challenging environment may limit Garnacho’s chances to develop and earn more minutes, prompting Agbonlahor to say he would be looking to move on if he were in the young winger’s position.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor remarked: “Garnacho wasn’t happy last night, playing just 19 minutes. That’s been clear on social media and even in the press conference afterwards. Do you want to keep a player like that happy, or do you need to get rid of that attitude at Manchester United? I don’t blame him at all. If I were Garnacho, I’d have been on the phone to my agent last night—‘Get me out of here.’”
In the coming weeks, Garnacho is expected to explore his options with his agent. United will need to address his concerns and determine if they can provide him with the playing time he wants. Meanwhile, Amorim faces the tough task of rebuilding the squad without the financial benefits of Champions League football, likely having to make difficult decisions regarding player sales.
