The source aded: “Garnacho seems to think he’s the next Ronaldo and this was his ‘exit interview’ moment, like he wanted to annoy people so much, there was no option but to sell him.
“It’s not gone down well with the rest of the United players. There’s a feeling that while he’s a good player, he’s not quite as good as he thinks he is.”
