Alejandro Garnacho slammed Manchester United's 's*** season'

The Argentine was left out of the starting XI that was beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao.
That is despite starting in ten of their matches in the European campaign, scoring just the once.
United's defeat in Spain - while sitting 16th in the Premier League - caps off a horror season.
And Garnacho, speaking to Argentine press and translated by Fabrizio Romano, said: 'It's difficult for all of us. This season has been s***.

'We lost the final, we didn't beat anyone in the league. It's very difficult."
Garnacho cryptically added: 'I've played every round until I reached the final, but I only played 20 minutes today.
'I'll enjoy the summer and then we'll see."
Garnacho's brother Roberto then caused a stir by posting on Instagram: "Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus."
Man Utd ratings: Diallo best player in Europa League final but Hojlund out of his depth
AMAD DIALLO'S fizzing first-half display was little consolation for Manchester United in a dismal 1-0 Europa League final loss to Tottenham.
Rasmus Hojlund's plight up front continued in one of the worst European showpieces for many years - as both sides showed why they will finish in the Premier League lower reaches.
Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity - on 42 minutes.
Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr's inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.
The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.
But United's chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.
The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.

The winger - linked with a move away in January - was benched against Spurs with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo operating as forwards.
Amorim was probed on his decision to leave Garnacho out for Mount, to which he replied: "It's easy to say that now.

"Who missed the big opportunity in the first half in the semi-final? Garnacho. Football is like that."
Garnacho, 20, has played 58 times this season across all competitions, more than any other United player.
He has 11 goals to his name and remains linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Chelsea showing interest earlier in the year.

Craig Bellamy: Wales will prepare for Liechtenstein the same way as any opponent
Liechtenstein are among the whipping boys of world football and ranked 205th out of FIFA's 210 nations. They have not won a competitive game since September 2020, and lost their opening two World Cup qualifiers in March to North Macedonia and Kazakhstan 3-0 and 2-0 respectively. 'We win the game, that's it, That's the honest truth,' Bellamy said at his pre-match press conference. 'I don't care about scorelines. We have to win, that's all we're working for this week. 'We've prepared for Liechtenstein as we did for Turkey and everyone else. It doesn't matter who we play against. 'I've watched the same amount of games on Liechtenstein as I have for every other team. My psyche can't work any different. 'I honestly believe if you disrespect the game it will catch you out. Do I understand people looking past it? Of course I do. 'But I was up late last night. I didn't sleep well. Does that tell you something? I treat every team the same. 'The same messages have been fed to the players. It doesn't matter.' Wales opened their World Cup campaign in March with a 3-1 home victory over Kazakhstan and a last-gasp 1-1 draw in North Macedonia. The Dragons know a far tougher test against group favourites Belgium lies ahead in Brussels on Monday. Bellamy has utilised much of his squad in previous double-headers since being appointed last summer. He is likely to do so again with such a quick turnaround before the Belgium game, although Leeds winger Daniel James is likely to miss out against Liechtenstein. 'Unfortunately Dan picked up an illness so we've had to separate him from the group,' said Bellamy. 'We can't afford to have any other players infected. 'We're monitoring him and monitoring the situation, but we've got cover. It's OK.' Captain Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson have joined up for international duty after helping Tottenham to Europa League glory against Manchester United. Johnson scored the winner in the Bilbao final to end Tottenham's 17-year wait for a trophy. Davies said: 'We had a couple of days celebrating, but you keep going on that merry-go-round and the next game seems to come up. 'I think Brennan has shown this year that he's a top, top player and proven a lot of people wrong. 'We've got full confidence in him in this Wales squad, that he can replicate his form at the club, here. 'We love having him around the place and I feel we've got the best Brennan at the moment.'
