In the 82nd minute of the Manchester derby at Etihad Stadium, the TV camera focused on Garnacho. The young Argentine striker, who had been substituted at that time, was seen scratching his nose and then putting his finger in his mouth.
“It seems like Garnacho just picked his nose and put it in his mouth,” “Caught Garnacho eating his ‘product,’ so disgusting,” “Didn’t expect Garnacho to do that,” “Oh mate, he looks so gross”… These were the reactions from most of the online community.
Garnacho’s action reminded people of former German national team coach Joachim Low. From Euro tournaments to World Cups, the German coach always drew attention with his peculiar habits, especially his habit of tasting his own nostril mucus.
Returning to Garnacho, the player had a lackluster performance in Man United’s 1-3 defeat to Man City. The young Argentine talent didn’t have any notable shots or passes. He only touched the ball 27 times, won only 1 out of 6 duels, and lost possession 10 times. SofaScore rated Garnacho 6.3 points, the second-lowest in the match, just above Victor Lindelof (6.2 points).
The “Red Devils” have lost both matches against Man City this season and have fallen 11 points behind Aston Villa in the race for the Premier League top four.
