“Get a job somewhere else” - Manchester United legend Roy Keane hits out at Alejandro Garnacho in furious rant

Manchester United icon Roy Keane has slammed Alejandro Garnacho for refusing to celebrate his goal against Leicester City last weekend. Garnacho came off the bench to get on the scoresheet with a stunning strike but showed no joy following his goal.

Red Devils skipper Bruno Fernandes later revealed that the Argentinean was sad after being confronted by a fan ahead of a Europa League game earlier this month. The video, which has now gone viral, shows Garnacho in an exchange with a supporter criticizing his passing and overall performance.

However, speaking on Stick to Football, Keane insisted that scoring a goal should be about enjoying that moment.

"When you score a goal there should be nothing else on your mind. They’re playing a game to score goals, they’ve got fans who have traveled and paid fortunes to get there, and he’s on about, ‘Someone’s had a go at me,’" said Keane.

He continued:

"People have traveled, you’ve scored a brilliant goal, enjoy it. Get upset with people and he can make his point on social media."

The former Manchester United skipper also slammed Garnacho, adding that he should switch his profession if he cannot deal with the pressures of the sport.

"Celebrate a goal, that’s what fans travel for. People make sacrifices to travel to watch Man United, he scores a brilliant goal, United are having a tough time and if a young player can’t enjoy scoring a goal for Man United do you know what he should do? Get a job somewhere else," said Keane.

He concluded:

"If he’s working in a factory, somebody would be giving him stick in the factory. There are idiots everywhere but my point is, when you score a goal, that’s gone. If he’s going to be upset with that – get a different job."

Garnacho has registered seven goals and four assists from 18 games for Manchester United this season.
