As the final whistle blew on Sunday's match against Leicester City, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes could not contain his excitement. He had just witnessed his team's 3-0 victory, a result that was made possible by some incredible performances, including a stunning goal from Alejandro Garnacho.
But as the rest of the team celebrated, Fernandes noticed something peculiar about his young teammate. Despite scoring a wondergoal, Garnacho didn't join in the jubilation. Instead, he calmly walked back to his teammates, who embraced him with open arms.
In an interview after the game, Fernandes explained that Garnacho's lack of celebration was due to a loss of faith from some United fans. The 20-year-old had been feeling the pressure and scrutiny from the fans, and Fernandes wanted to reassure him that he was appreciated and valued by the team.
Fernandes himself had played a crucial role in the game, opening the scoring before a Victor Kristiansen own goal secured the win for the Red Devils. But it was Garnacho's goal that stole the show, with his captain setting up the opportunity for him with a perfectly placed pass.
Despite the initial lack of celebration, Garnacho eventually joined in the team's joy, thanks to some encouragement from Fernandes. The captain reminded his teammate that he was a special player, with the ability to make a difference on the field and win games for the team.
But perhaps Garnacho's muted celebration was understandable, given the recent incident he faced with a fan outside Old Trafford. The young winger was criticized for his performance and told to work on his skills, a moment that was caught on video and shared widely on social media.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Garnacho has been a standout player for United this season, with seven goals and four assists to his name. He has contributed more than any other player on the team, making him a valuable asset to the club.
However, United's season has been a difficult one, with the team struggling to find consistency under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Even with the win against Leicester, the team is currently in 13th place in the table, leaving Amorim with a lot of work to do after the international break.
Despite the ups and downs, United fans can be reassured that their team has some exceptional players, including the talented Garnacho. And as Fernandes wisely pointed out, it's important to support and encourage these players, rather than getting too high or low after each game.
