Alejandro Garnacho, the nugget of Manchester United, already seems at odds with Ruben Amorim, the club's new coach. As revealed by the Daily Mail, the Argentine winger was ruled out of the derby against Manchester City last month after an incident during a Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen. Garnacho allegedly turned his back on Amorim while the latter gave him instructions at the side of the field. This gesture was seen as a sign of dissension.
The Garnacho clan denies a lack of respect
However, the 20-year-old's representatives denied any intention of disrespect, citing a simple misunderstanding. However, this episode was enough to relegate him to the substitutes' bench for the next four matches. If the club assures that there is no conflict between the two men, internal sources confirm that Amorim has imposed demanding standards since his arrival.
This clash, however, raises questions about Garnacho's adaptability to the 3-4-3 system advocated by the Portuguese technician. Although he is considered one of the team's most promising talents, his sidelining highlights doubts about his fit into Amorim's long-term plans. With Marcus Rashford also sidelined, ego management and discipline appear to be at the heart of the Portuguese coach's strategy
