Alejandro Garnacho is at risk of a Football Association ban over a social media post regarding Manchester United team-mate Andre Onana.
Garnacho, 19, posted a celebratory post on Twitter following Manchester United’s 1-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night where Onana saved a stoppage time penalty to ensure victory.
The Argentina international included two gorilla emojis in the since deleted post alongside a picture of Onana, team-mates and himself celebrating.
The FA are aware of the post in question and have sought Garnacho’s observations on it.
Manchester United...
Surely Onana can just say “oh nah it’s fine he meant nothing by it” and the FA will drop it
Instead the FA have skipped the whole " what does the percieved victim aka onana thing" of this all and are straight into interviewing Garnacho
When the whole saga about the Bernardo Silva-Benjamin Mendy tweet happened, Mendy actually wrote a letter to the FA defending Bernardo & saying that he didn’t view the tweet as racist, but the FA still fined & banned (& forced him to attend educational classes about racism) Bernardo for the tweet
