Former Man Utd star takes shot at Alejandro Garnacho's HAIRCUT as he says it's time to ship out ‘sulking' ace
FORMER Manchester United star Ben Foster took aim at 'sulking' Alejandro Garnacho's HAIRCUT as he urged the Red Devils to axe the winger this summer. Garnacho, 20, may have played his last game for 4 Man Utd must axe 'sulking' Alejandro Garnacho, according to Ben Foster Credit: Getty The Argentina international has been at United since 2020 and has gone on to score 26 goals in 144 games. However, Garnacho has failed to win over Amorim despite once being heralded as the future of the club. The winger was even And he could now be set to pack his bags for a new side, with READ MORE IN FOOTBALL United have already moved to replace Garnacho by splashing £62.5million on Wolves' Matheus Cunha. Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo also seems destined to join this month. And now, Amorim's decision to axe Garnacho has been backed by former United goalie Foster. Speaking to Most read in Football 4 He was involved in an altercation with a fan last week Credit: TikTok @da_wood.7 BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Foster feels Garnacho sulked too much in the wake of the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. And he also feels that Garnacho cares more about the appearance of his hair than the team's wellbeing. Ruben Amorim bursts out laughing when asked about Man Utd star's future 4 Foster said: 'I think for Man United it's best to ship [him] out. 'If I was the manager I'd be a little bit similar to Amorim in the case of I just want team players. 'I want a bunch of lads who are good, honest, hard working team players. And I don't get that vibe from Garnacho, I don't get that vibe from a few of the players. 'You look at the full-time whistle after the Europa League game. You have Brennan Johnson doing an interview. 'He looks like he hasn't had a haircut for about three months, [hair] horrible all over the place, but his interview was incredible. 'You could tell he's a real nice lad, he's hard working, he does everything for the team. 'Then you look at Garnacho. Fresh trim a day ago, dyed blonde ready for the final. 'The full-time whistle goes, he's sat on the pitch sulking by himself, not trying to get behind the other lads, picking them up, saying 'well done we got this far'. 'And I think that there is the big contrast. I just want good lads, honest, hard working lads.' 4 Foster even hit out at Garnacho's hair cut Credit: Getty

Republic of Ireland vs Senegal predictions, odds and betting tips
THE REPUBLIC of Ireland will welcome Senegal to the Aviva Stadium on Friday night for the first of two friendlies ahead of this year's World Cup qualifiers. Buoyed by back-to-back wins, the Boys in Green will be given a stern test by the in-form African giants, who haven't lost for well over a year. Ireland vs Senegal tips Senegal to win or draw and BTTS - Ismaila Sarr to score anytime - Troy Parrott to score anytime - Ireland vs Senegal odds Find the latest football betting odds for Ireland vs Senegal. Our odds are provided by the Ireland vs Senegal predictions The Republic of Ireland return to action on Friday night against an in-form Senegal side, as Heimir Hallgrimsson's men continue preparations for their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Ireland will be buoyed by back-to-back 2-1 wins over Bulgaria in their two most recent outings. The 4-2 aggregate win sealed their Nations League B survival and provided some much-needed momentum after a difficult few years. Having failed to qualify for the last four major tournaments, Hallgrimsson will be under pressure to lead Ireland to the 2026 World Cup. He will have his work cut out, with the Boys in Green drawn in a tricky UEFA Group F alongside Portugal, Hungary and Armenia. Since taking over in July 2024, the Icelandic coach has overseen a steady improvement, guiding Ireland to four wins in six since a shaky start. Now, he'll be hoping to extend that run of improved form with positive performances against Senegal and Luxembourg during this international window. Hallgrimsson is likely to be without Seamus Coleman for the match - the skipper is still recovering from injury and is unlikely to be risked. The Irish head coach is also likely to experiment at some point with the uncapped John Joe Patrick Finn, Josh Keeley, Killian Phillips and Josh Honohan all included in the squad. Senegal poses a significant threat. The Lions of Teranga are unbeaten in their last 14 matches. The run includes 10 wins and four draws and sees them firmly in the mix to qualify for the 2026 World Cup from CAF Group B, where they sit second in the table with 12 points from six matches. Pape Thiaw's side don't have the services of Sadio Mane to call upon this Friday. But many Premier League fans will recognise Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr, who are likely to be a part of Senegal's front three. READ MORE SUN STORIES Ireland vs Senegal betting tips Despite having the home comforts of the Aviva Stadium in their favour, Heimir Hallgrimsson's Ireland team are the underdogs. Find out if they can prove the bookies wrong in our Republic of Ireland vs Senegal match betting tips below: Senegal to win or draw and BTTS Unfortunately for Republic of Ireland fans, Senegal boast a strong squad with several members regularly playing at the highest level of European football, including the Premier League. As a result, we don't see the visitors losing. But, not all hope is lost. Given Ireland's improvement under Hallgrimsson, we can see at least a goal for the Boys in Green, and maybe even a draw. ➡️ Ismaila Sarr to score anytime Ismaila Sarr finished his club season on a massive high with Crystal Palace. As well as lifting the FA Cup at Wembley, Sarr also scored twice in Palace's 3-0 semi-final win over Aston Villa. In the Premier League, Sarr was just as impressive. He contributed two assists and a final-day goal against Liverpool in his last three league appearances for the Eagles. There are options in this market for Senegal. Sarr's Premier League counterpart, Nicolas Jackson also finished the season well with Chelsea, scoring in his team's 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Europa Conference League final. Jackson is 27/10 to score anytime. We are sticking with Sarr, though, as we believe he is the player in better form and more likely to replicate it on the international stage. ➡️ Troy Parrott to score anytime Troy Parrott has enjoyed an excellent season with AZ Alkmaar, scoring an impressive 20 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions for the Dutch side. While the former Spurs striker has yet to replicate that form on the international stage, this could be the perfect moment for Parrott to make his mark in a green shirt. Heimir Hallgrimsson will be well aware that goals from Parrott could prove crucial in Ireland's push for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. So expect the manager to play to his striker's strengths in a bid to unlock his full potential at international level. ➡️ 📺 How to watch Republic of Ireland vs Senegal Location : Aviva Stadium, Dublin Ireland.
