MANCHESTER, England — During Manchester United’s recent match against Leicester City, Alejandro Garnacho exhibited a subdued reaction following his impressive goal, indicating he may feel disheartened by what he perceives as waning support from certain fans. According to team captain Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho’s frustration was evident after he netted a spectacular long-range shot that helped ensure a 3-0 victory for United at Old Trafford.
Instead of celebrating enthusiastically with supporters, Garnacho chose to return to the midfield area with a solemn demeanor. Fernandes remarked on this, stating that while Garnacho delivered a remarkable performance, he appeared to believe that some fans have turned against him. The captain reassured him, emphasizing that although there will always be critics, many people appreciate and value his contributions on the field.
“It was a fantastic goal, and he should have celebrated it properly because it was indeed something extraordinary,” Fernandes explained to the BBC. “Garnacho is a unique talent, and players like him can significantly impact games, helping us secure vital victories.” Garnacho entered the match as a substitute in the 57th minute and proceeded to record his seventh goal of the current season.
At just 20 years old, the Argentine player is regarded as one of the most promising young talents within Manchester United, having previously scored during the FA Cup final against Manchester City last season. His celebration’s restraint appears to stem from his desire for affirmation from the fanbase, despite his undeniable prowess on the pitch.
