Manchester United legend Roy Keane has told Alejandro Garnacho to “get a job somewhere else” after he refused to celebrate his goal against Leicester City last weekend.

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.

But, he refused to celebrate in front of the Old Trafford crowd following significant criticism from a section of the Man Utd fanbase.

However, the 20-year-old has now been slammed by Keane for his non-celebration.

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.

“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.
