Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho’s substitution strop is set to cost him, but not in the form of a fine.
Garnacho was the unlucky individual who got substituted for tactical reasons after defender Patrick Dorgu was sent off in the first half of United’s 3-2 win over Ipswich Town on Wednesday.
However, instead of sitting on the bench and watching the remainder of the half, the Argentine headed straight down the tunnel at Old Trafford.
“He came to me,” Man United manager Ruben Amorim said.
“Was funny because the next day he came to me to my office. I did some investigation and he went to the dressing room, changed his clothes because he was wet, he watched the game not on the bench and at the end of the game he was there and went home. So there is not an issue there.
“He’s a young kid that will learn. The important thing was the next morning he was speaking with me. I think we need to see that small things like walking out onto the pitch – because (Joshua) Zirkzee did the same thing and the context was different – but it was the same thing.
“We have to understand the situation, the context, the age of the players, of course they have to be better.
“They have to understand perception here is really important. But you can deal with that the next day and move on so let’s just move on.
“But I told him at Manchester United, everything is important and the perception in a big club is really important. So he is going to pay a dinner to all the team and that’s it.
“I think he (Garnacho) understands. But, like I said, [the players] read everything, all the small things. And I know the players quite well, I played for quite a while, I understand they are frustrated. He was subbed, he was playing well and has to go off in that moment of the game.
“It’s hard to deal with everything but they have to deal with everything. I just try to help them be better footballers.”
