Man United meltdown continues as player snaps at supporters after Liverpool defeat
Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho clapped back at a critic with a quickly erased response after they shared a scathing critique. A harsh video highlighting the Argentine's blunders during the weekend's 3-0 drubbing by Liverpool came with the cheeky jibe: "Alejandro Garnacho - Getafe's next star?"
Upon noticing the clip, Garnacho couldn't hold back his retort. His snappy comeback read: "Wasting your time making clips for me. Your life so far?" But swiftly, he thought better of it and pulled the post.
It was a testing day at the office for Garnacho in the clash against Liverpool. The youngster made way for Amad when the clock ticked past the 70-minute mark in United's loss to their bitter rivals.

The decision to hook Garnacho instead of Rashford was met with disapproval from the Old Trafford crowd who expressed their displeasure vocally. Yet, it wasn't only Garnacho reacting online after Sunday's defeat. Amidst Casemiro's problematic performance, his wife has shot back with a defiant gesture.
Anna Mariana took to Instagram to show off the Brazilian's glittering silverware showcase following his pair of mishaps against Liverpool. She also posted an image of Casemiro in celebration with his Man United mates with the words: "Always strong Casemiro, the biggest (heart)."
Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole has weighed in on the current struggles faced by forward Marcus Rashford, expressing his concern over the lack of support from fans. He commented: "It's disappointing. With Marcus being a boy from Manchester and, considering how long I've been personally involved with the club, it's the first time I've ever seen a local player have such a relationship with the fans.
"It's a little bit surreal, because the fans usually get behind one of their own and, in general, they get behind the team. For them to focus on one individual is a bit disappointing to see and the only way Marcus can get through this situation is by winning the fans back."
Cole advocates that Rashford's path to regaining fan support lies in his on-field performance. He said: "That's going to be done via his performances, goals and doing what he did a couple of seasons ago. I've said this before, but nobody actually knows what's going on with him. It could be something so personal that it's impacting his football.
"I'm not going to sit here and say it could be X, Y and Z because in football you need to get back to basics and that's what Marcus has to do. We're only three games into the season and there's still a hell of a lot of football still to be played yet."
