Manchester United winger, Alejandro Garnacho, was recently told by manager Ruben Amorim to find a new club. Some players would knuckle down, fight for their place, and prove their manager wrong. Others take a different tack, deciding to inflame the situation in spectacular fashion.

While on holiday in Ibiza, Garnacho posted a photo of himself on social media wearing Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa shirt. Rashford remains on Manchester United's books but was loaned to Villa for the latter part of last season.

Rashford showed his support for Garnacho, commenting "My brother" along with a heart emoji, the petulant behavior has naturally enraged United fans, who clearly feel he has crossed a line.

On TalkSPORT's breakfast show former Premier League striker Troy Deeney didn't hold back in his assessment of the situation and offered some blunt advice on how club captain Bruno Fernandes should handle it.

"If it was me at Man Utd, if I was Fernandes, I'd wait 'til he came back and firstly I'd smash him...This is Man Utd; Who do you think you are? You Dope", Deeney said.

It's highly likely that neither Rashford nor Garnacho will be at Old Trafford next season, but if they fail to force the transfers they crave by July then they - along with fellow rejects Antony and Sancho - will probably be forced to train alone while the rest of the squad jets off on their summer tour in America.
