Rúben Amorim, the Portuguese head coach of Manchester United, has confirmed that Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho was upset following his exclusion from the squad in the recent match against Manchester City. Amorim stated, 'He seems a bit upset with me about the City game, and that's great. I'm very, very happy because if it were me, I would try to work the same way.'
