Alejandro Garnacho's true feelings about dismal post-season tour to Asia revealed as Man Utd star posts one-word message on return home

The Red Devils opened their tour with a dismal 1-0 defeat against the ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur, leaving Ruben Amorim's side to walk off to a chorus of boos from the Malaysian crowd. Looking to avoid further embarrassment, United made a short trip to Hong Kong for their final match of the tour and secured a 3-1 win, but even that came with its own worries. The Red Devils went into half-time trailing by a goal, and only a spirited second-half revival prevented another shock result.

United jetted off to the Far East just a few hours after their final Premier League fixture against Aston Villa. After fulfilling their sporting and commercial commitments in Malaysia and Hong Kong, the players were reportedly "fuming" and wanted to fly back home as quickly as possible.

Following the squad’s return to England, Garnacho made a pointed Instagram post taking a subtle dig at the team’s chaotic and underwhelming overseas campaign, suggesting the young winger was relieved to put the tour behind him. Sharing a photo of himself on board a flight back home, the winger added the caption “Finally” followed by a crying emoji, praying hands, and a desert island symbol.

Having been left out of Argentina’s squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia, Garnacho will not be involved in international duty in the coming weeks. Instead, he is expected to use the break to unwind, spending time with loved ones.

Facing growing financial constraints and mounting pressure to revamp a squad that fell short of expectations, the club is reportedly preparing to offload multiple big-name players in the coming transfer window. With Garnacho’s future unclear and tensions within the camp rising, United look set for a significant transformation in the months ahead. Whether the Argentine winger will be part of that rebuild—or find a new home elsewhere—remains one of the many pressing questions facing the club this summer.
