The Argentina international has come under fire for his performances over the past few weeks and he was recently confronted by a Red Devils supporter ahead of the club’s win over PAOK in the Europa League.

Garnacho responded by netting the third goal during Man Utd’s 3-0 win over Leicester in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as interim boss before the November international break.

What has Roy Keane said?

Keane told The Overlap’s Stick to Football Podcast: “Can I tell you something, whatever about this game and we know these younger players suffered but if you can’t celebrate a goal there’s something drastically wrong with this game.

“Whatever is going on off the pitch for any player, it could be family stuff, when you score a goal, you work all week, you’re playing the game to score a goal. But no criticism should ever affect you celebrating a goal.

“Famous last words, ‘I’m different’. When you score a goal there should be nothing else on your mind.

“They’re playing a game to score goals, they’ve got fans who have travelled and paid fortunes to get there, and he’s on about, ‘someone’s had a go at me’.

“People have travelled, you’ve scored a brilliant goal and enjoy it, get upset with people, and he can make his point on social media.

“Celebrate a goal, that’s what fans travel for. People make sacrifices to travel to watch Man Utd, he scores a brilliant goal, United are having a tough time and if a young player can’t enjoy scoring a goal for Man Utd, do you know what he should do? Get a job somewhere else.

“If he’s working in a factory, somebody would be giving him stick in the factory.”
