ALEJANDRO GARNACHO deleted and re-posted a slightly altered Instagram story after Manchester United fans spotted a vape on his sofa.
The 18-year-old shared an image of him watching the 3-1 win over Fulham from his home as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.
But he then swiftly removed the picture when his followers spotted a green vape sitting in front of him on the sofa – before he re-uploaded the snap without the vape.
SunSport understands the electronic cigarette belongs to his dad.
Man Utd declined to comment when approached.
Garnacho, who has contributed five goals and six assists in 32 games this season, suffered his ankle injury during Man Utd’s goalless draw with Southampton last weekend.

Meanwhile, Man Utd booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a dramatic win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
