Alejandro Garnacho has once again left Manchester United fans seething after congratulating Marcus Rashford on his move to Barcelona.
Rashford completed his season-long loan move on Wednesday, describing the Camp Nou as ‘home’ having become only the second Englishmen to play for the club in 100 years after Gary Lineker.
He is the first of five players United are desperate to move on this summer.
Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Garnacho are also set to leave with United eager to move them off their wage bill and raise further funds for incoming transfer business.
Garnacho represents United’s best opportunity to cash in with latest reports suggesting their asking price for the Argentina international now stands at £40million.

The 21-year-old burned bridges with Ruben Amorim after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham when he openly challenged his manager’s decision not to start him in that game.
Following confirmation of Rashford’s move to Barcelona on Instagram, Garnacho commented ‘Lets gooooo’ along with two emojis mirroring Rashford’s goal celebration pointing to his head.
Garnacho’s social media activity has irked United fans on plenty of occasions in the past. Lats month, the winger shared a picture of him wearing an Aston Villa shirt with Rashford’s name on the back after his loan spell at Villa Park last season.
The Argentine liked posts criticising his former manager Erik ten Hag during the Dutchman’s spell in charge with his brother Roberto also frequently blasting Alejandro’s coaches and teammates.
Garnacho’s comment on Rashford’s move has been taken as another dig at the club, with United supporters fed up of the behaviour.
‘Let’s make one thing clear, Alejandro Garnacho has lost all of love and respect from true Manchester United fans himself with his social media activity,’ one fan wrote.
‘Mistakes after mistakes in social media have consequences and today he did another one under Rashford post on IG by celebrating his move to Barcelona.’
Another United fan praised Rashford for securing the exit he wanted with minimal fuss, blasting Garnacho in the process.
‘Good work from Rashford. Didn’t create any controversy by saying pathetic things while leaving and accepted that this is the next step.
‘Garnacho should see that given that he hasn’t been able to secure a place anywhere. Not even a single suitor for him.’
Another commented: ‘A little humility from the man who got dropped for Mason Mount in a cup final wouldn’t hurt’ with another adding: ‘This guy will end up playing in the Korean league soon. Ego of Ronaldo and woth the talent of Mudryk.’
