Man Utd star Alejandro Garnacho breaks silence on early substitution against Ipswich with cryptic response to Ruben Amorim's post-match criticism

<p>Just before half-time, Patrick Dorgu was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-ipswich-town-patrick-dorgu-bruno-fernandes-harry-maguire-andre-onana/bltcb28ab962e0163ed#csb6c803d31eb69bbe" target="_blank">sent off for a reckless studs-up</a> challenge on Omari Hutchinson. The red card forced Amorim to adjust his tactics and Garnacho was sacrificed for Noussair Mazraoui as the team looked to shore up their defence in an attempt to hold on to their slender 2-1 lead. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The red card forced Amorim to adjust his tactics, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/marcus-rashford-left-out-of-man-utd-squad-derby-clash-with-man-city/bltc3fc09994a51e472" target="_blank">Garnacho was sacrificed for Noussair Mazraoui.</a> After the match, the Argentine posted an image with a solemn expression, raising <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-discipline-issues-ruben-amorim-sends-ominous-message-alejandro-garnacho-stormed-down-tunnel-marcus-rashford/blt7506b2f83de78ebb#cs12290797f49290d1" target="_blank">further questions about his feelings </a>towards the manager's decision. </p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt6e6c0ff7f9ce2d34/resize.webp?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt6e6c0ff7f9ce2d34/resize.webp?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt6e6c0ff7f9ce2d34/resize.webp?format=jpg" alt="Alejandro Garnacho Manchester United" data-source="" data-copyright="@garnacho7 Instagram" data-portal-copyright="@garnacho7 Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt6e6c0ff7f9ce2d34;width:1080;height:1505"></picture><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>During his post-match media duties, Amorim was asked about Garnacho's actions and his decision to leave the bench. The Portuguese coach did not hold back, admitting that he would have a chat with the player in private. </p><p>He said: "What I'm saying is I'm going to talk obviously with Garnacho about that. So I will talk about that if you want in the next press conference."</p><p>While further elaborating on the decision he added: "It was cold and wet, maybe? The thinking was we'd play more in the 5-3-1. I know that is a risk because you are taking one - maybe the only player who has one against one pace, but I felt the team was okay in the controlling of the game, almost half time, then you make the subsitution. We have to choose someone to go out, we have to think about set pieces also, so it was Garnacho."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Garnacho's place in the squad might be in jeopardy given the current tension surrounding his relationship with Amorim. With the FA Cup fifth-round tie against Fulham looming, the Argentine will be hoping to make a strong case for a starting spot, but the question remains whether Amorim will call upon him for the match or continue to prefer other options.  </p>
