Fans react to Garnacho’s comment after UEL snub
Check out some of their comments below:
@Garnacho__utd:
“Yes he should have started garna, what does Mount give on the pitch the fella can’t even play 45 mins, not starting Garna was a mistake not trying to suck him but watching him this season he’s had ups and downs but can be a threat towards others teams can create chances and quick down the wing. 21 G/A btw may I add.”
@unthinkable_sn:
“No one should blame this guy. He did what he thought was best. If everything went well, we wouldn’t be hearing all this.”
@moodxfootball:
“Well… blaming Garnacho for one miss in a semi while Mount’s been missing all season is a wild deflection.”
@Cr7fanAdabra:
“You people just trying to blame the coach… Sometime, Garnacho don’t play well in football … we can’t judge that way.”
Amorim responds to Garnacho’s claim
Ruben Amorim, during the post-match conference held with the press, said the decision not to start the 21-year-old was the best for the team. He said:
“It’s easy to say that now”. “Who missed the big opportunity in the first half in the semi-final? Garnacho. Football is like that”.
“I’m confident in doing this job if the board let me. And as you can see, I am confident in my job”.
“I will NOT change anything in the way I do things. I’m not here to defend myself”.
