The Portuguese tactician was so angry that he told him, "You better pray that you can find a club to sign you", in a manner that suggested his United career is over in front of the entire squad.
This comes amid an imminent squad overhaul under the 40-year-old head coach.
The ex-Sporting Lisbon boss' plans appear to have the backing of United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team.
And a sale of a player like Garnacho would raise some much-needed funds after missing out on Champions League qualification, which would have led to a whopping £100million cash injection.

Manchester City sign Wolves left-back for £31m
MANCHESTER CITY HAVE completed the signing of left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves. The 24-year-old Algeria international has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium after the clubs agreed a fee of £31million. He becomes City's first major signing of the summer, with AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders also set to join. Ait-Nouri will be eligible for the upcoming Club World Cup later this month, with City also looking to get Reijnders done in time. 'I am incredibly happy and honoured to have joined Manchester City. City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for the club is a dream come true,' he said. Advertisement 'I am also so excited about working with and learning from Pep (Guardiola) and his coaching team and getting to train and play alongside such a world class group of players. 'I'm young and I came here to improve a lot. I need to learn and improve my football for sure – it's why I chose this big challenge. 'I know I can improve my football and being in these kind of conditions with this team and this manager, for sure I will improve my football.' 'Rayan is a player that as a club we have been following closely for quite some time and we are delighted he has joined us,' said director of football Hugo Viana. 'He already has extensive Premier League experience and has also demonstrated his quality at international level with Algeria. 'We feel sure that he will be an excellent addition to our squad and that working alongside Pep and his coaching staff will help develop his game even further. 'And at just 24 he is someone we feel sure will help us in our objective to bring more success to the club.' Veteran goalkeeper Scott Carson is to leave the club when his contract expires this summer. The 39-year-old made just two senior appearances in a six-year stint but was involved in squads that collected 12 trophies, including the Champions League in 2023. Ait-Nouri has spent five years at Wolves, initially arriving on loan from Angers before signing permanently for £14.9m in 2021. He is City's first left-back specialist since Benjamin Mendy, who played his final game for the club almost four years ago. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Joao Cancelo, Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol and – most recently – Nico O'Reilly have been among the players to fill the position since.

Nuno Mendes ‘cancelled out' Lamine Yamal and won more trophies than Dembele – so why's he not a Ballon d'Or contender?
HE is a Champions League, treble-winning superstar who by his own admission recently 'cancelled out' one of the most talented players around in Lamine Yamal. Yet Advertisement 7 Nuno Mendes pocked Lamine Yamal during his Man of the Match performance during Portugal's Nations League win over Spain 7 Mendes also guided Paris Saint-Germain to the treble, which included the Champions League title 7 Fans have called for Mendes to be in the Ballon d'Or conversation The 22-year-old full-back lit up Portugal's Nations League final He scored a beautiful equaliser to make it 1-1 in the first half – a low driven effort any striker , including his 40-year-old teammate He then stepped up to rifle in an impressive spot-kick in the shoot-out, having given 17-year-old winger Yamal – a Ballon d'Or favourite – a night to forget in Munich, a real schooling in the arts of defending and positional domination. Mendes said post-match: 'It was a clash [with Yamal] like many others I have had during the season. Advertisement READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS 'I have faced up to many great players, very technically skilled players who can make a difference, but today I cancelled out Lamine and [did] not let him do what he does best. "This helped the team and I am happy I helped the team to win this trophy. It's all about being consistent. 'I have played many good games and it's about the work I do individually and with the coaches at PSG and 'The Ballon d'Or? I play with Ousmane [Dembele] and he had a wonderful season, Lamine also had a wonderful season. But Ousmane will be in the Club World Cup and Lamine won't, so I'm very happy for Ousmane.

'I play my football; there are players who are closer to that prize. I don't focus much on it.' New footage shows Cristiano Ronaldo's wild reaction to Portugal Nations League win as Man Utd star is 'used as shield' 7 Mendes said he 'cancelled out' Ballon d'Or contender Lamine Yamal on Sunday night Advertisement 7 Mendes' PSG team-mate Ousmane Dembele is among the favourites for the Ball d'Or He can add modesty to his growing list of attributes, but why should Mendes be counting himself out of the most coveted individual award in football ? It is the peak of snobbery in the sport that the grandest of prizes – one that It will likely carry on this year too. Barcelona's Yamal, PSG's Dembele and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah are the favourites. Advertisement As Jamie Carragher once famously said: 'No one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville', but is that changing? Full-backs are now sexy, admired, idolised and coveted. Surely the day is coming where someone in that position will win the Ballon d'Or for the very first time. 7 Advertisement Madrid next season. Arsenal's But Mendes appears to be on another planet right now. Against Spain, he had more successful dribbles, touches, tackles, final-third passes and successful duels in the opposition box than any other Portugal player. Advertisement He tasted Champions League glory against Ligue 1 and cup double, and could yet lift more silverware at the Club World Cup in the States next month. Current top 10 favourites for Ballon d'Or Ousmane Dembele Lamine Yamal Ferreira Vitinha Mohamed Salah Raphinha Kylian Mbappe Gianluigi Donnarumma Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Desire Doue Achraf Hakimi The Ballon d'Or is often about goals, with Sadio Mane coming close to winning it in recent editions. Yet it is also about big titles, and very few players can rival Mendes in that regard, but because he is a defender, the limelight will likely – and perhaps wrongly – be on others. Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk is the last defender to feature in the Ballon d'Or top three back in 2019, and you have to go back to 2006 for a defender to win it outright – Italy's Fabio Cannavaro after leading his nation to a World Cup win. Advertisement Time is on Mendes' side to replicate that and Manchester City holding midfielder Rodri's recent win will encourage him. Play a starring role in next summer and full-backs may finally get their moment in the sun. 7 Yamal endured an 'off night' during the Nations League final in Germany
