    FA speak to Man Utd star Garnacho after he posts then deletes ‘controversial’ message about Onana

    MANCHESTER Utd star Alejandro Garnacho is being spoken to by the FA over deleted social media messages about team-mate Andre Onana, it’s understood.Onana had spared United’s blushes with a match-winning penalty save against FC Copenhagen in their Champions League group stage match on Wednesday night.

    And the young Argentine posted a snap of himself and other United players celebrating Onana’s heroics on Twitter – including two gorilla emojis.
    Despite swiftly editing then deleting the post, the FA were alerted to it and have since liaised with the 19-year-old winger to investigate the matter.
    And while there is no suggestion of racism behind the message, it is likely the athlete will be hit with a suspension if the Football Association adopt the same approach they have in the past.
    Previously, the FA has punished footballers over other controversial social media postings that were viewed as offensive – even if the meaning was unintended.

    But Onana has since taken to social media to defend his young teammate.
    Over two Instagram stories, he wrote: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by.
    “I know exactly what @garnacho7 meant: power and strength.
    “This matter should go no further.”

    Garnacho has also shared Onana’s defence of him on his own Instagram.
    In 2020, then-United striker Edinson Cavani was suspended for three games for writing “Gracias Negrito” to a friend – with an FA commission finding it a racial term.
    The Uruguay striker asserted that the message “was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend” following an apology.
    Cavani was slapped with a £100,000 fine and made to complete face-to-face education.
    The previous year, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva picked up a one-match ban and £50,000 fine for posting the image of the popular Conguitos chocolate bar, which has long been accused of racist undertones.
    And while the swiftness of the post’s deletion and Garnacho’s youth will be factors taken into account, he may yet be made to pay for a moment’s unintentional foolishness.

    The FA are aware of the post in question and have sought Garnacho’s observations on it.
    The Sun has approached Manchester United for comment.

    “But I get there and find out that everything is cool.

    He told The Daily Mail: “I am helping Ngannou.
    “I am learning what he is able to do. He’s able to do so much more than I anticipated.

    The popular sports broadcaster, 36, is dating Love Island lothario Adam CollardCredit: Instagram
    Laura had taken to her page on X, formerly known as Twitter, following coverage of Premier League team Manchester United’s latest footballing clash.
    As part of her on-screen duties for TNT Sports, Laura interviewed the Old Trafford side’s boss Erik Ten Hag after his side’s 1-0 victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
    Yet in a surprise turn of the events, the Red Devils’ gaffer grabbed the microphone and chatted to her instead.
    As Laura tried to wrap up the chat Laura attempted to shake his hand – yet found he turned around to her co-hosts Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand instead, leaving her hand flapping in the air.

    She remarked to the duo: “How weird was that? I didn’t know what to do with my hands with no microphone.”
    After the clip was posted to X, one troll remarked: “I’ll give you something to do with your hands,” presumably referring to a sexual act.
    Ex TalkRadio anchor Laura – who has long been subject to sexist comments – re-posted the sordid remark and swiped: “And will you provide the microscope too?”
    The remark is thought to be a catty reference to the size of the troll’s manhood, and left her fans in hysterics.

    Meanwhile, off-screen, Laura’s love life is blossoming.
    Love Island star Adam and Laura were first linked to each other back in September when The Sun revealed that they had enjoyed a string of dates.
    Recently, Adam spoke exclusively to The Sun on how he wooed Laura – even branding her “the one.”
    Geordie lad Adam has now revealed how he wooed Laura through a series of flirty social media exchanges, before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.
    Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Adam said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.
    “Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.
    “It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.”
    He then told us at The Best Heroes Awards: “I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.”
