What Alejandro Garnacho did after full-time after being denied potentially last Old Trafford minutes by Ruben Amorim revealed

Manchester United ensured that the spectre of their season didn’t influence the last game of the league, as the team, without Alejandro Garnacho, dominated Aston Villa.

Ruben Amorim fielded a strong team vs Aston Villa but there were some curious selection choices too.

The need to give a “farewell” to departing players like Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, and Jonny Evans was obvious but Alejandro Garnacho received no such honour.

With United already fumbling the first part of Garnacho’s departure, this was damage management by Amorim to keep tight-lipped on his future.

The player, however, was in no mood to hide his true feelings through what he did on the pitch after the game.

Garnacho was left out of the matchday squad altogether after reportedly being told to leave the club in the wake of his iffy comments after the UEL final.

It was notable to see the Argentine on the Old Trafford pitch after the game and what he did then hinted at his future, something which Amorim refused to confirm.

As per BBC’s Simon Stone, Garnacho stood in front of the Stretford End for a long time, walking around the pitch for a while and being the last to leave it.

That is clearly the sign of a player who wants to soak in his last moments on the iconic pitch where he turned from an exciting academy prospect to one of the world football’s highly-rated talents.
