A tired-looking Garnacho, 19, was replaced by team-mate Amad with United trailing 2-1 at the interval. One even accused the under-fire Red Devils manager of ‘throwing Garnacho under the bus’. The first post read: “Garnacho has been one of our best players this season. Poor first half but taking him off at half time and holding him up as the problem is a joke.

Many have done much worse week in week out and are still out there.” A second post – written by the same user, United fan channel host Mark Goldbridge – added: “Ten Hag subtly blaming Garnacho in the post-match press conference… Not a good look throwing a 19-year-old under the bus who has actually delivered for you this season. But then again he’s clearly scared of upsetting the bigger earners.” The quotes which Goldbridge was referencing came when Ten Hag told reporters: “We lost some balls in areas we shouldn’t lose them,” he said.

“If you see the first goal, the set-up was good but in that area you should never lose the ball but it’s still not a goal. On the right side defending we had some problems in the first half. At half-time, we repaired it. “First half, they were better.

They created chances but the good thing is we returned twice from losing positions. So this team, the spirit is good, the resilience is good, they showed some character. I think we had to repair over the right side. 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. *Your turn!
