Man United player Garnacho apologizes for liking critical posts about Ten Hag

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Alejandro Garnacho apologized for liking social media posts criticizing Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager said on Friday.

Garnacho ‘liked’ comments on X that called into question Ten Hag’s handling of the Argentine forward. He later ‘unliked’ them, but not before his actions were screen grabbed and shared on the platform.

“Alejandro is a young player, he has to learn a lot. He apologized for it and after that we move on,” Ten Hag said at news conference ahead of United’s FA Cup semifinal against Coventry on Sunday.

The posts were made after Garnacho was substituted at halftime of United’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth last week.

One described Ten Hag’s treatment of him as a “joke.”

Also this season, Jadon Sancho went on social media to claim he was made a scapegoat after being omitted from the squad for a game against Arsenal. Sancho was made to train alone and did not feature again for United before being sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund.
