What happened betweenAlejandro Garnacho andErik ten Hag?

Alejandro Garnachofirst liked a tweet that was critical of some choices made by his boss, Erik ten Hag,but he has now unliked it:“Rashford either plays up front or LW – playing him RW cost us today. Our midfield depth is a joke – we ended up with Fred and Lindelof in midfield. Garnachonot ready to be a starter. Sancho looked great – should start against next game.Fred had an absolute shocker.”

A further post that the United youngsterliked stated, “Garnacho is not fit to start premier league games. I’ve seen enough.” Three times this season, the Dutchman has started Garnacho in the league, but he has yet to score or assist in any of those games. On the other hand, he has three assists and zero goals in eight substitute appearances.
