Erik ten Hag says Alejandro Garnacho 'has a lot to learn' after Man Utd star apologises for liking posts criticising Red Devils boss

Garnacho's performance in the first half of the match against the Cherries led to his substitution at half-time, with United trailing 2-1. The winger was frustrated with the decision and further found himself in a controversy after the game when he liked two social media posts criticising his substitution.

Earlier in the week, a United spokesperson stated that the incident had been addressed internally. Now, Ten Hag has confirmed that Garnacho has apologised for his actions which has ensured that there is no disciplinary action taken against him.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of United's FA Cup semi-final against Coventry, Ten Hag told reporters: "Alejandro is a young player. He has to learn a lot. He has apologised for it and we move on."

This is not the first time Ten Hag has faced disciplinary issues with members of his squad this season. Jadon Sancho faced consequences, including being sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund, after criticising the manager on social media and refusing to apologise.

Ten Hag had also condemned Marcus Rashford's behaviour as unacceptable after the English forward was photographed attending a nightclub and subsequently missed training.

Ten Hag remains focused on the job at hand in the FA Cup semifinal against Coventry and does not want to make the mistake of taking them lightly.

"They are dangerous. They are in the semi-finals. They do a fantastic job over there and we have seen the game against Wolves in the quarter-final, the mentality is fabulous," he said.

With the FA Cup representing United's last opportunity to salvage silverware in what has been a disappointing season, Ten Hag wants to keep no stone unturned to seal a berth for the summit clash.
