Alejandro Garnacho warned by former Man Utd star as his behaviour comes to light

Nicky Butt warned Alejandro Garnacho that he would have been kicked up in the air by the Manchester United squad had they played together at the same time. It's not the first time former United man Garnacho has come under fire for his attitude in the dressing room and on the pitch, something fans have often noticed . Although the game has changed since Butt's own playing days, he claimed that if Garnacho were still at Old Trafford, he'd give him a firm reminder to behave, work harder and cut out the messing around. "Forget his ability, I don't think he is that great anyway, but his attitude was a disgrace at Man United," the former midfielder said on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast. "He would have got treated really badly, he would've got taken out in training, if he was brought up with us." FOLLOW OUR MAN UTD FB PAGE!

Rio Ferdinand previously claimed he helped build Ronaldo's resilience by "borderline bullying" him. Ferdinand told the Kyle and Jackie O radio show: "Me and a guy called Quinton Fortune - another team-mate - we used to take the mick out of him a lot. He was a lot younger than us at the time - borderline bullying, maybe, but it was just trying to, like, build him, build that resilience. "We used to play every other day before training, as part of the warm-up. I used to smash him all over the place. He did beat me, it was me and him, [ranked] one and two, like [Roger] Federer and [Rafael] Nadal. If it was televised, it would have broken records. He used to, like, almost cry and that, he was so competitive." Meanwhile, Butt, who spent some time with Garnacho when he worked at the club, went on to add: "When he signed at 16, I was academy manager. Garnacho was always a bit stand-offish, always thought he should be playing. "He had a high opinion of himself; I just thought he had an edge about him. When he got into Man United's first team, and I will say what I think. He got above his station way too quickly. "Now, I hope young players get paid millions. I'm not one that says they get too much money. He scored the bicycle kick, which was phenomenal, and went like that [points up]. Somebody at that club should have swatted him down; maybe he ignored them. The best thing Man United did was sell him." Chelsea signed the Argentine for £40million last summer, but he has endured a disappointing maiden season. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
