Man Utd reveal Premier League record annual revenue but still make loss<\/h3>\n

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the club are in contact with the Football Association over Alejandro Garnacho’s social media activity. Garnacho could face a ban for a controversial post on X (formerly Twitter) referring to team-mate Andre Onana after his Champions League heroics this week.<\/p>\n

Onana has been widely heralded by his team-mates and supporters for his 97th-minute penalty save against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It secured a 1-0 win at Old Trafford through Harry Maguire’s second-half header, keeping United’s hopes of progression out of Group A alive.<\/p>\n

Garnacho took to social media to hail Onana’s clutch contribution in the aftermath, but his quickly deleted post on X caused controversy.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old winger posted an image of the United players celebrating around Onana after his last-gasp save, captioning it with two gorilla emojis.<\/p>\n

His post has sparked fears that he could face a fine and, more worryingly, a ban if he is found guilty of a breach of FA rules.<\/p>\n

But Ten Hag is calm about the situation, confirming that United are in contact with the FA about the situation after Garnacho was approached for his observations.<\/p>\n

“Not [concerned] in this moment. We are talking with the FA,” Ten Hag explained ahead of Sunday’s 191st Manchester derby at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that and want to emphasise we are together, we are United, and you see that in the post of Andre Onana.”<\/p>\n

Onana took to social media on Thursday to fiercely defend Garnacho’s actions, insisting he knows the United No 17 meant well.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X and Instagram: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by. I know exactly what @agarnacho7 meant: power and strength. This matter should go no further. AO24.”<\/p>\n
