Alejandro Garnacho deletes criticism of a Manchester United fan who made a derogatory video
Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho responded to a critic on social media before quickly deleting the post.
The Argentine striker made his debut as a starter in the Premier League season at the 3-0 defeat against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Following the defeat, a Red Devils fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted a two-minute video compiling Garnacho's worst moments so far this season.
In response to the post, Garnacho wrote: “You're wasting your time making clips for me – your life so far (laughing emoji and fire emoji).”
The social media user, who goes by the username @sulkfemomeno, responded to the footballer with a reply of her own.
They wrote: “Focus on your first touch and dribbling, moron. If you weren't so bad, I wouldn't have any videos to post (thumbs up emoji).”
Garnacho's original post has since been deleted.
The 20-year-old, who has one assist in United's first three games, found himself in trouble due to his social media activity last season.
Garancho has liked several posts criticizing the coach Erik the Hag after being substituted during a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in April.
Ten Hag later revealed that the young striker had apologized for his behavior.
“Alejandro is a young player and he has a lot to learn,” Ten Hag said.
“He apologized for it and after that we moved on.”

Despite a slow start to the 2024/25 campaign, Garnacho was one of United's most important players last season.
He appeared in all but two. Premier League matches, recording seven goals and four assists.
Garnacho was replaced by Amad Diallo during the second half of the rout against Liverpool and the decision was met with loud boos from the Old Trafford faithful.
Explaining the decision to take off Garnacho and leave Marcus Rashford on the pitch, Ten Hag said: “Firstly, Marcus created two great chances for Zirkzee.
“Secondly, it was Garnacho's first outing and Zirkzee's first.
“We know that Rashy can play as a centre forward and one of the ideas was to take off Zirkzee and Garnacho and keep Rashford.
“He created two very good chances. I know that if he keeps working, fighting like he is doing now, the time will come and he will score goals.”
