Garnacho’s Outfit Choice Causes Concern Among Manchester United Fans
Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho recently stirred up controversy with his choice of outfit while on holiday. The young player was spotted wearing an Al-Ittihad shirt, a move that has raised eyebrows among fans and sparked speculation about its potential impact on his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Garnacho has been very vocal about his admiration for Ronaldo, going so far as to wear the superstar’s underwear brand on the pitch and even giving himself the name ‘Cristiano’ during a game of bowling with friends. Furthermore, he has had the privilege of sharing the pitch with Ronaldo six times during the Portuguese striker’s second spell at Old Trafford.
However, by donning the Al-Ittihad shirt, Garnacho runs the risk of upsetting his idol, as the Saudi Arabian side is a fierce rival of Ronaldo’s current club, Al-Nassr, in the Saudi Pro League. Fans were quick to express their confusion and disappointment on social media, questioning why Garnacho would wear the colors of Al-Ittihad instead of supporting his idol by wearing Al-Nassr’s jersey.
The picture of Garnacho wearing the Al-Ittihad shirt has certainly caused a stir, with fans labeling it as “embarrassing” and criticizing him for not representing his idol’s club. This unexpected choice of attire has led some to speculate about Garnacho’s intentions, with suggestions that he may be hinting at a potential transfer or trying to force his way out of Manchester United.
Garnacho’s fashion statement has raised concerns not only among fans but also among Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag. Supporters believe that the manager may not be pleased with the player’s decision and that the Al-Ittihad snap could be seen as a sign of his desire to move to Saudi Arabia.
While the young forward may have caused a stir with his outfit choice, it’s important to note that he was wearing the Al-Ittihad shirt during a training session to maintain his fitness ahead of the upcoming season. Garnacho is yet to rejoin his Manchester United teammates after being given an extended break following his participation in the Copa America with Argentina.
Garnacho’s performance last season was promising, with the 20-year-old scoring 10 goals in all competitions, including the match-winning finish in United’s FA Cup triumph over Manchester City at Wembley. Despite a shaky start to their pre-season tour in the United States, with a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal, Manchester United will continue their preparations by facing Real Betis in San Diego before a friendly clash with Liverpool in South Carolina.
The club’s next major event is the Community Shield, where they will take on Manchester City at Wembley on August 10. As the new season approaches, fans will be eager to see how Garnacho’s outfit choice and his aspirations for a potential transfer will unfold, and whether it will have any impact on his relationship with his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
