Watford legend, Troy Deeney has slammed Manchester United winger, Alejandro Garnacho after he offered a muted celebration following his late goal in the Red Devils’ Premier League 3-0 win over Leicester City at the weekend.
Garnacho put the icing on the cake with a stunning late goal against Leicester City at Old Trafford but opted not to celebrate.
Speaking on the development, Deeney expressed disappointment on Garnacho’s muted celebration, insisting that football is not for the Argentina international.
“I said it last night on Match of the Day, and I will repeat it. It goes twofold,” Deeney told talkSPORT.
“One, it says what players are like nowadays, where their skin is so thin that one gentleman can say what he wants to say and everyone sulks.
“And secondly, if he’s getting affected by that, I would say to him, just as an older pro: “I don’t think this football game is for you, big man”.
He added, “Because you play for the biggest club in world football. If you play poorly, you are going to get people to get on your case.”
“If you play really well, you are still going to get people to get on your case. You play for Man United.
“It’s called jealousy and that is part of the game. So, disappointed that he didn’t celebrate. It’s an unbelievable goal.”
