Manchester United fans have expressed concern after spotting what Alejandro Garnacho did after scoring against Leicester City.
United were 2-0 up at half-time in Ruud van Nistelrooy‘s final game as interim boss thanks to an early strike from Bruno Fernandes and an own goal from Victor Kristiansen.
And Garnacho, on as a substitute, wrapped up the victory in stunning fashion with a wonderful curling effort to make it 3-0 in the 82nd minute.
It was an outstanding finish from the Argentina international and one which took him to seven goals for the season in all competitions.
Many theorised that Garnacho’s celebration was in response to being benched for the fixture – or perhaps even to recent criticism he has received from supporters.
One commented: “I’m trying to understand why Garnacho didn’t celebrate his goal.
A second said: “Garnacho not celebrating that because he’s thinking ‘f you’ to all the criticism he’s got recently. Kid is 20. Talented. Stick with him.”
A third wrote: “Garnacho didn’t celebrate. He’s angry at us.”
A fourth added: “Garnacho did not celebrate because the fans have been slagging him off.”
A fifth posted: “After constant abuse from many Manchester United fans toward their best player this season, Garnacho didn’t celebrate, knowing he isn’t valued enough by the fan base.”
Prior to United’s Europa League win over PAOK, Garnacho had an exchange with a supporter who told him to “pass better, score a goal and work on your first touch”.
