Alejandro Garnacho sends message to Joshua Zirkzee after Man United fans destroy him
Alejandro Garnacho had a message for Joshua Zirkzee after their Europa League against Real Sociedad ended in a draw.
Man United were held to a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad, setting up a decisive second leg at Old Trafford in their Round of 16 tie.
Zirkzee opened the scoring for Ruben Amorim’s side, a small moment of redemption for the striker after his costly penalty miss against Fulham in the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, Garnacho faced backlash from Man United fans after a video surfaced of him seemingly ignoring a supporter before the match.
His off-the-field issues have been a talking point of late, but on-the-field, he has also suffered problems after Garnacho apologised to Man United supporters following his bust-up with Amorim.
Despite the noise, the winger was included in the starting XI and played until the 77th minute before being substituted. After the match, he sent a message online, sparking further conversation.

Alejandro Garnacho shows support for Joshua Zirkzee after frustrating draw
Following the draw, the Argentine took to Instagram to share a message of determination, posting a picture of himself and tagging Zirkzee, with the caption: “All to play at home.”
Despite his show of support, Garnacho’s form for Man United has been concerning. The winger is now on a 22-game goal drought, struggling to make a decisive impact in front of goal.
Under Amorim, he has been deployed in various roles, from both flanks to an attacking midfield position, as the manager continues to experiment with his best setup.
However, despite his lack of goals, Garnacho has still been involved, making 42 appearances this season, contributing eight goals and seven assists.
Ruben Amorim faces key decision over Garnacho’s future at Man United
Garnacho’s relationship with Amorim has seemingly been tense since he was dropped for the Manchester derby back in December.
Amid the uncertainty, Chelsea were linked with a move for Garnacho in the January transfer window, but with both Marcus Rashford and Antony leaving on loan, the club opted to keep him.
With United facing financial challenges related to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), selling the academy graduate would be a significant financial boost, as his departure would count as pure profit.
However, for now, United’s focus remains on their crucial upcoming fixture against Arsenal on 9 March, where Garnacho will be hoping to rediscover his form.
