Wright intervened with Keane in full flow and gave a different point of view on the manchester united star mentality.

“For a 20-year-old, he's still on the path of what he's doing,” Wright added. “That affected him to the point that he didn't celebrate. “We’re not saying you shouldn’t celebrate.”

The conversation then became lively, particularly from Keane, as opinions ebbed and flowed.

Wright added: “The thing is, that's how much it affected him. “He scored a great goal but that worries him and he is a great player.”

Keane replied: “He's just scored a brilliant goal and that should be on your mind.”

“It's the saddest thing in the world when someone scores a goal and doesn't celebrate it for something that happened,” Keane explained.

“When you score a goal, Wrighty, you have nothing else on your mind. You're playing a goal-scoring game, you've got fans who have traveled, paid fortunes to get there, and he's talking about people attacking me.

“You've scored a brilliant goal, he can make his point on social media. If a young player can't enjoy scoring a goal for Man United, do you know what he should do? Get a job somewhere else.

“If you worked in a factory, someone would beat you up in the factory.”

Wright doubled down on his stance, stating that despite Garnacho's decision to mute his celebration, fans still got their money's worth.

“The fans celebrated the goal. “He did it for the fans, the fans celebrated,” Wright responded.

Keane said: “You want a player to celebrate with the fans. “Go up to them and look the fans in the eyes.”

Wright had the final answer on the issue, telling Keane: “Garnacho does that, but what has been said has affected him.”
