Alejandro Garnacho has reacted on social media after Manchester United's 3-2 win over Blodo/Glimt on Thursday night.

The 20-year-old opened the scoring for Ruben Amorim's team in their Europa League fixture but missed several other good chances to score. Garnacho has started both of Amorim's games in charge and has made 20 appearances across all competitions for the Reds so far this season.

The Argentine was berated by a supporter outside Old Trafford before United's 3-0 win over Leicester City earlier this month. The supposed 'fan' was recording a live stream while players arrived at the tunnel and told Garnacho to improve parts of his game, to which he bit back with a comment of his own.

And the winger may have hinted at the incident in his latest message on Instagram. "I will keep doing my things," he wrote alongside several pictures of him in action on Thursday. And United will no doubt be hoping he will continue 'doing his own things' after the Argentine's goal on Thursday helped to move United up to 12th in the Europa League league phase table.

Under the competition's revised structure, the top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while those ranked ninth to 24th will enter a seeded play-off round. It's not the first time that Garnacho has fired back at his detractors.

The forward sent a since-deleted sharp reply after receiving a harsh video critique after United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in September. The clip, which lampooned the player's mistakes, teasingly suggested: "Alejandro Garnacho - Getafe's next star?"

Garnacho quickly hit back after spotting the video, replying with the pointed remark: "Wasting your time making clips for me. Your life so far?" Before reconsidering and promptly deleting his response.
