Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho may reportedly be facing a serious ban after an extremely offensive social media post about his teammate Andre Onana.

The post, which has now been deleted, seemed to celebrate Onana’s penalty save against Copenhagen in the Champions League this week, but was also accompanied by gorilla emojis.

According to the Metro, “Garnacho could now face a charge from the Football Association as the post is likely to be deemed an ‘aggravated breach’ of its rules on social media behaviour.”
