Alejandro Garnacho sends two-word message to Marcus Rashford after Barcelona move – as star becomes first Man United ‘bomb squad’ member to depart
Alejandro Garnacho offered two-word reaction to celebrate Marcus Rashford sealing his move to Barcelona from Manchester United.
Rashford’s move to Barcelona was confirmed on Wednesday with the forward joining on an initial season-long loan.
Barcelona will have the option to sign Rashford permanently for around £30million at the end of the season.
Rashford had been one of five players placed in Man United’s ‘bomb squad’ this summer, with Ruben Amorim determining them to have no future at the club.
Garnacho is among those to have been told to stay away from first team training and left out of the club’s tour to the United States to seek a move elsewhere.
The group also includes Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Rashford become the first member of the ‘bomb squad’ to leave Man United by sealing his move to Barcelona, with Garnacho quick to respond.
The forward responded to a joint Instagram post by Barcelona and Rashford, confirming the deal, with the message ‘Lets gooooo’.
Garnacho’s message was accompanied by two emojis mirroring Rashford’s goal celebration, which has previously seen him point to his head.
The winger, who was told to find a new club by Amorim at the end of last season, has already attracted attention for his social media posts this summer.
Fans had expressed anger last month after Garnacho shared photos from his holiday to Ibiza, one of which included a picture of him wearing the Aston Villa shirt worn by Rashford on his loan last season.
Supporters had hit out at the winger for wearing another Premier League clubs shirt while a Man United player, while some viewed it as defiance to Amorim after his decision to cut ties with Rashford.
Amorim had informed Garnacho that he should find a new club days after their Europa League final defeat against Tottenham in May.
The Argentine winger had been unhappy to be left on the bench for more than 70 minutes of the final, while his brother Roberto had accused Amorim of ‘throwing him under the bus’ in Bilbao.

Garnacho and his brother appeared to signal their disagreement with the team selection on social media posts before the match, while he had apologised for expressing disappointment at his substitution in an Instagram post back in February.
Mail Sport reported that Man United would consider offers of around £40m for Garnacho this summer.
Garnacho had been valued at around £70m when Napoli made an approach for him in January.
The 21-year-old wants to stay in the Premier League and there is interest from Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
