Roberto Garnacho reacts after brother makes controversial headline

Alejandro Garnacho’s social media activity made headlines recently when the Manchester United starlet liked a post critical of Erik ten Hag and the club—an action that led to heated fan discussions and whispers of potential fallout between player and manager.

Though the post was quickly unliked, the damage had already been done, with many speculating whether Garnacho’s benching in the following match against Southampton was a form of punishment.

But Garnacho’s younger brother, Roberto, stepped in to clarify the situation, delivering a strong message on social media: “Of course. When you make a mistake outside the pitch, you have to say sorry based on your performances. Not going out blaming anyone.”

And that’s exactly what Garnacho did. When handed the opportunity to start in the midweek Carabao Cup clash against Barnsley, the 19-year-old responded in style with a stunning performance—two goals and two assists. His display silenced critics and reaffirmed his standing with Ten Hag, as the pair were seen laughing together late in the match.

The controversy may have stirred up conversation, but Garnacho’s actions on the pitch made it clear that he’s ready to move past the incident—proving once again that his talent can speak louder than any social media misstep.
