The reason Alejandro Garnacho stormed down the tunnel after being substituted against Ipswich Town has been explained.
The Manchester United winger was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui after his teammate, Patrick Dorgu, was sent off for a reckless tackle on Omari Hutchinson.
With United down to 10 men and leading 2-1, manager Ruben Amorim opted to add a defender, weakening their attack.
Despite Garnacho’s departure, Ipswich quickly equalized through Jaden Philogene-Bidace.
However, United regained the lead when Harry Maguire scored a header from Bruno Fernandes’ corner.
The 3-2 win was memorable not only for the dramatic finish but also for Garnacho’s behavior.
After being substituted, he walked straight off to the dressing room.
Fans captured footage showing that he told staff he was just going to change his shirt, a moment missed by TV cameras.
Amorim’s decision to pull Garnacho off was met with frustration from fans, as the young winger had played a key role in United’s fast counter-attacks.
Amorim later explained he felt the 5-3-1 formation was necessary to control the game, even though it affected their offensive play.
After the match, Garnacho posted a photo on Instagram without a caption, walking down the touchline.
