Garnacho 'Punished' For Leaving Man Utd Bench

Garnacho 'Punished' For Leaving Man Utd Bench

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho has been punished by coach Ruben Amorim after returning to the dressing room instead taking a seat on the bench after substitution.

The Argentine was sacrificed by Amorim in the first half against Ipswich Town following Patrick Dorgu's red card.

However, the United attacker went straight down the tunnel, similarly to Joshua Zirkzee, instead of joining his teammates on the bench.

Amorim reveals he spoke to the young Argentine, who will play for the team's dinner but revealed there is no issue.

"He (Garnacho) came to me. It was funny because he came to my office. I did an investigation [and] he went to the dressing room to change his clothes because they were wet," Amorim revealed, as per Stretty News

"He watched the game from somewhere different from the bench. There is no issue. I told him perception is important. He will pay for dinner for all the team.

"He is a young kid that will learn. The important thing is that in the next morning, he was speaking with me. 

"[Joshua] Zirkzee did the same thing (walking down the tunnel), but the context was different. We can deal with that, and let's just move on."
