Alejandro Garnacho faces ban over Andre Onana post

Alejandro Garnacho could be facing a ban over his deleted post on X about fellow Manchester United team-mate Andre Onana.

The Cameroon international was United’s saviour on Tuesday evening as his penalty save in injury time ensured Erik ten Hag’s side sealed a vital 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Garnacho was one of several United players to pay tribute to Onana’s heroics on social media, however, the 19-year-old deleted his post on X after he used two gorilla emojis alongside a picture of himself celebrating with the goalkeeper.

The Argentina international initially edited the original post to remove the two gorilla emojis and left the image on his timeline before it was deleted altogether.

The post, which was made just after midnight was visible for users on X for around 15 minutes before it was deleted.

Garnacho could now face a charge from the Football Association as the post is likely to be deemed an ‘aggravated breach’ of its rules on social media behaviour.
