The brother of Manchester United winger, Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly accused Ruben Amorim of throwing the Argentinian under the bus following his exclusion from the team’s starting lineup in their UEFA Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 20-year-old started the showpiece event on bench with Mason Mount taking his place in the starting eleven.
Following the game, the youngster was quizzed about his feeling of not getting a nod in the final.
“Obviously it’s hard for everyone. Our season was s—,” the United winger told journalists, as reported by AlbicelesteTalk.

“We didn’t beat anyone in the league. We lacked a lot of things. When you don’t score goals, you always need more. Until we reached the final, I played every round.
“And I played 20 minutes today… I don’t know. I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.”
According to the Irish Independent, Garnacho’s brother and agent, Roberto, was even more forthright, accusing Amorim of throwing the player “under the bus”, comments that may only inflame an already delicate situation.
“Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus. Wowe hahahahahaha,” Roberto Garnacho wrote on Instagram.
Garnacho was a subject of interest from Chelsea during the January transfer window with United rejecting all proposals from the Blues.
It remains to be seen if the club will entertain any offers for the former Atletico Madrid wonderkid in the summer transfer window.
