[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho was left out of the Manchester derby squad last month due to his dissatisfaction with manager Ruben Amorim during a previous Europa League match. Reports state that three days before the derby, the Argentine winger came on as a substitute against Viktoria Plzen, and when Amorim was explaining tactics to him from the sidelines, Garnacho seemingly turned and walked away. Garnacho’s associates deny any disrespectful behavior and claim it was a misunderstanding. Manchester United has also declined to comment, but sources insist there is no discord between the two, and Garnacho was not excluded from the squad; however, they acknowledge that Amorim has set strict standards for the players since taking over. The 20-year-old Garnacho has played 28 matches for Manchester United this season, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists. However, since being left out of the squad against Manchester City, Garnacho has been a substitute in his last four appearances without making a start.
