When Garnacho was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui just before halftime, he went directly to the locker room. This occurred after United coach Ruben Amorim had to adjust his lineup due to a red card issued to Patrick Dorgu.
Typically, players are expected to remain on the bench after being substituted unless they are injured, and Amorim mentioned that he would address the situation with the Argentine forward after the team's 3-2 victory.
“It was funny because in the next day he came to me, to my office. I did some investigations, and he went to the dressing room, he changed his clothes because he was wet,” Amorim stated on Friday. “He watched the game in the different (place), not on the bench. In the end of the game he was there, then he went home, so there’s not an issue there.
“But I told them that in Manchester United everything is important, and the perception in a big club is really important, so he’s going to pay (for) a dinner to all the team, and that’s it.”
Garnacho was omitted from United’s squad for a match against Manchester City in December. Amorim emphasized the importance of upholding high standards within the club at that time.
“He’s a young kid that will learn,” Amorim said. “The important thing is that in the next morning he was speaking with me.”
Garnacho is anticipated to be available for selection when United faces Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
