The goalkeeper backed his teammate as the FA investigates social media post.

André Onana has defended Red Devils teammate Alejandro Garnacho after the FA began a probe into a social media post made by the winger as he posted 2 gorillas above a picture of Onana.

The Argentinian posted on X after the Cameroon goalkeeper saved a penalty in the last minutes to secure the Premier League side’s 1-0 victory against FC Copenhagen in the UCL yesterday.

Alejandro deleted his publication very quickly after Manchester United advised him to do so, as some people can interpret his post as racist.

The English football governing body is looking into the incident and has questioned Alejandro about his thoughts.

Today, the Red Devils goalkeeper himself backed his Argentinian teammate:

“Society can’t decide what I should be offended by,” the goalkeeper shared on Instagram. “I know exactly what Alejandro meant: power and strength. For me, nothing happened, and this must end here.”
