What was meant to be a relaxing getaway in Ibiza has now stirred up a social media storm for Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
Instead of the sun-soaked photos getting simple fire emojis and heart eyes, fans flooded his Instagram with backlash over one specific detail — and it all boils down to a shirt.
Garnacho Posts in Villa Shirt, and Fans Lose It
In a post showing off his Ibiza trip, Garnacho shared a photo of himself wearing Marcus Rashford’s Aston Villa shirt.
That’s right — a Manchester United star casually posing in a rival Premier League club’s jersey.
To make it more eyebrow-raising, Rashford even commented supportively on the post with “My brother love,” which only made fans angrier.
United Supporters Call It “Disrespectful”
United fans didn’t hold back. Comments ranged from mild confusion to outright frustration.
One fan wrote, “Villa shirt? C’mon mate, get a grip,” while another said, “Really? Wearing a Villa shirt?”
Some took it even further, linking the photo to Garnacho’s rumored exit from the squad, saying: “Off you go with him.
This is why Amorim doesn’t want you anymore — it’s your attitude.”
Another simply called the choice “madness,” saying that repping another Premier League team showed Garnacho wasn’t “mentally ready for the next level.”
Rashford Also Faces Backlash
Rashford’s comment didn’t exactly go unnoticed either.
Fans were quick to turn on him as well, with one supporter declaring: “You’ve lost the respect of the majority of United fans, especially those that backed you.”
The frustration seems to reflect wider dissatisfaction with both players’ commitment and mindset amid a tense period for the club.
Set to Miss U.S. Tour With Other Outcasts
Both Garnacho and Rashford are part of a group of players reportedly left out of United’s upcoming U.S. tour, alongside Antony and Jadon Sancho.
All four are said to be out of favor under new manager Ruben Amorim and are expected to train separately at Carrington — unless they can secure transfers before the tour kicks off in July.
Not Just the Shirt — Garnacho’s Lifestyle Under Scrutiny
Adding more fuel to the fire, other photos from Garnacho’s trip show him drinking and lounging by the pool with friends.
While not necessarily scandalous, fans saw it as another example of where his focus might lie — and it’s not winning back his place at Old Trafford.
Garnacho’s Future Looks Uncertain
Though he’s made 144 appearances for Manchester United and scored 26 goals, Garnacho’s place at the club looks shakier than ever.
His recent choices — both on and off the pitch — seem to have widened the gap between him and a return to the squad under Amorim.
With the summer transfer window heating up and fan tensions rising, all eyes will be on whether Garnacho and Rashford remain in Manchester or move on to new chapters.
