Alejandro Garnacho posted a celebratory picture of Andre Onana and other Man Utd team-mates with some emojis which could be deemed offsensive; Erik ten Hag has confirmed the FA are in contact with United about the post, but the Man Utd manager is not worried about a potential ban
It seems like the league has a smart and easy out here. It can state that it accepts Onana’s interpretation, drop any punishment for Garnacho, and state that it takes the issue of racial abuse seriously, as evidenced by this thorough investigation, so players must be mindful of their social media conduct.
Done. Dusted. They don’t punish a guy who doesn’t appear to have done anything untoward, and look like they are actually willing to back up their policies.
They said they accepted Cavani’s interpretation as well. They still banned him.
