Manchester United have released an official warning to fans ahead of Alejandro Garnacho’s much-anticipated return to Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Argentine winger, who left the club under controversial circumstances earlier this year, is set to face United for the first time since his high-profile departure. Anticipation around the fixture has been building for weeks, and the club has moved quickly to remind supporters of their responsibilities inside the stadium.
United’s statement emphasized that while passion and emotion are part of football, abusive or discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated. Security at Old Trafford is expected to be heightened, with additional stewards and monitoring in place to ensure fan conduct remains within acceptable boundaries. The club has stressed that any individual found guilty of throwing objects, chanting offensive songs, or engaging in threatening behavior will face immediate ejection and potential bans.
The return of Garnacho is particularly sensitive given the nature of his exit. Once hailed as one of United’s brightest prospects, he left amid tensions with the board and coaching staff, sparking heated debate among fans. Some sections of the United faithful still admire the 21-year-old for his talent and impact during his time at Old Trafford, while others feel betrayed by the way his departure unfolded. This mix of emotions has the club determined to avoid any hostile incidents that could overshadow the game.
A spokesperson for United urged fans to “respect Garnacho as a former player of this great club” and reminded supporters that the focus should remain on backing Rúben Amorim’s side during a crucial fixture. With both teams in desperate need of points, emotions are certain to run high, but United’s hierarchy are keen to ensure the atmosphere remains safe, supportive, and worthy of Old Trafford’s traditions.
