ALEJANDRO GARNACHO slammed Manchester United’s “s*** season” while dropping a major transfer hint.
And speculation that Garnacho is an unhappy United camper only strengthened after his brother’s social media outburst.

The Argentine was left out of the starting XI that was beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao.
That is despite starting in ten of their matches in the European campaign, scoring just the once.
United’s defeat in Spain – while sitting 16th in the Premier League – caps off a horror season.
And Garnacho, speaking to Argentine press and translated by Fabrizio Romano, said: “It’s difficult for all of us. This season has been s***.
“We lost the final, we didn’t beat anyone in the league. It’s very difficult.”
Garnacho cryptically added: “I’ve played every round until I reached the final, but I only played 20 minutes today.
“I’ll enjoy the summer and then we’ll see.”
Garnacho’s brother Roberto then caused a stir by posting on Instagram: “Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus.”
Man Utd ratings: Diallo best player in Europa League final but Hojlund out of his depth
AMAD DIALLO’S fizzing first-half display was little consolation for Manchester United in a dismal 1-0 Europa League final loss to Tottenham.
Rasmus Hojlund’s plight up front continued in one of the worst European showpieces for many years – as both sides showed why they will finish in the Premier League lower reaches.
Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity – on 42 minutes.
Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr’s inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.
The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.
But United’s chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.
The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.
Here’s how SunSport’s Dave Courtnadge rated United on a miserable night individually and collectively for Ruben Amorim’s men…

The winger – linked with a move away in January – was benched against Spurs with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo operating as forwards.
Amorim was probed on his decision to leave Garnacho out for Mount, to which he replied: “It’s easy to say that now.
“Who missed the big opportunity in the first half in the semi-final? Garnacho. Football is like that.”
Garnacho, 20, has played 58 times this season across all competitions, more than any other United player.
He has 11 goals to his name and remains linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Chelsea showing interest earlier in the year.
