Alejandro Garnacho dealt with by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after liking tweets questioning substitution

Erik ten Hag has addressed Alejandro Garnacho's social media activity with the Manchester United player personally.

Garnacho liked two tweets from a YouTuber questioning his half-time removal in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.

A United spokesperson said the matter was dealt with internally but declined to clarify whether Garnacho has been outright disciplined. United highlighted that Garnacho had swiftly unliked the tweets

Garnacho has been substituted in United's past four matches, having played the full two hours in the epic FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool on March 17.

The Manchester Evening News asked Ten Hag if Garnacho's withdrawal against Bournemouth was tactical. "I think we had to repair over the right side," Ten Hag explained. "We didn't play well, the spaces were there. In possession, we had to bring a sub there.

"Garnacho was during the week not training. Only yesterday. We thought bring some energy and bring some more quality, quality in the sense of cooperation and togetherness on that right-hand side."

Garnacho started his 30th successive United game at the Vitality Stadium and the 19-year-old is the frontrunner to receive the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.

Ten Hag is bound to be asked about Garnacho's transgression at his pre-match press conference for the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry later this week.
