Mаncһeѕter Unіted wіnger Alejаndro Gаrnаcһo fаceѕ Ьаn oʋer deleted Andre Onаnа рoѕt

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho could face a ban for his deleted X post about Andre Onana.

The Cameroon international was United’s savior on Tuesday night as his stoppage-time penalty save helped Erik ten Hag’s side seal a vital 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League .

Garnacho was one of many United players to pay tribute to Onana’s exploits on social media. However, the 19-year-old deleted his post on X after using two gorilla emojis alongside a photo of him celebrating with the goalkeeper.

The Argentina international initially edited the original post to remove two gorilla emojis and left the image on his timeline before it was completely deleted.

The post, published shortly after midnight UK time, was visible to users on X for around 15 minutes before being deleted.

Garnacho could now face charges from the Football Association over a post that could be considered a “serious breach” of its rules on social media conduct.

In 2020, Edinson Cavani was suspended for three matches and fined £100,000 by the FA after his public response to a friend’s Instagram post used the Spanish term “negrito”, translated is “black”.

The Uruguayan, who then played for Manchester United, quickly deleted the post and apologized after learning of the implications, while the striker released a statement the following day saying he was “completely against the victimization”. racism”.

Cavani was also asked by the FA to attend training.

In 2019, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva was banned for one match and fined £50,000 for posting on Twitter about then-teammate Benjamin Mendy.

Silva posted an image of Mendy as a child next to the cartoon character that is the symbol of the Spanish chocolate brand Conguitos.

Silva later deleted the post less than an hour after posting it before posting on Twitter: “These days I can’t even joke with a friend.”
