Alejandro Garnacho is having a fantastic season as the top scorer for Manchester United. However, not everyone seems to be a fan of the young star. Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney recently criticized Garnacho, saying that football may not be the right fit for him.
Deeney's comments came after Garnacho's subdued celebration during United's win over Leicester City. The young winger had scored a stunning goal, but instead of rejoicing, he showed little emotion and was quickly embraced by his teammates. Deeney was disappointed by this lack of celebration and even went as far as to say that Garnacho should find a different job if he can't handle the pressure of playing for such a big club.
This was not the first time Garnacho had been the target of criticism. A few days earlier, he had been confronted by a fan outside Old Trafford who told him to improve his passing and first touch. A video of the incident went viral, and Garnacho's response of "Why are you not playing, man?" was seen as a sign of his frustration and lack of confidence.
In defense of Garnacho, club captain Bruno Fernandes explained that the young player had been hesitant to celebrate his goal because he felt that some fans had lost faith in him. Fernandes reminded Garnacho that there will always be critics, but there are also many supporters who appreciate his talent and enjoy watching him play.
Deeney, who had previously defended Garnacho, was disappointed by his behavior and questioned his ability to handle the pressure that comes with playing for a top club like Manchester United. He also criticized the way modern players are too easily affected by criticism and suggested that this may not be the right career for Garnacho if he can't handle it.
Even United legend Roy Keane chimed in, agreeing with Deeney's comments and stating that if a player can't celebrate a goal, then he should find a different job. Keane also reminded Garnacho that scoring goals and celebrating them is what fans come to see, and if he can't enjoy that, then he should consider a different career path.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that Garnacho is currently the leading scorer for Manchester United this season. He has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing start to the season, and only Fernandes has matched his goal-scoring and assisting abilities. However, with all the attention and pressure on him, it remains to be seen how Garnacho will handle it all.
For now, the young winger is on international duty with Argentina, but he will soon be back with United for their next game against Ipswich Town. It will be an important match, as it will be the first game under new United head coach Ruben Amorim. Only time will tell if Garnacho can rise above the criticism and continue to shine on the pitch for Manchester United.
