Manchester United's recent season ended without any trophies and a disappointing 15th place in the Premier League. Despite this, the team participated in an open-top bus parade in Kuala Lumpur, trying to turn the PR disaster into a promotional opportunity. However, several players appeared dismayed during the parade and fan meet-and-greet events, highlighting their discomfort following a tumultuous season. Particularly, Alejandro Garnacho visibly expressed reluctance as he interacted with fans, demonstrating the disconnect between the players’ expectations and their reality at the club.
Currently serving club-enforced penance for their shambles of a season on a money-spinning post-season tour of Asia, the players… were forced to endure the indignity of being paraded through the streets.
The roads resolutely unclosed and ne'er a trophy to show off to the largely indifferent pedestrians they passed, it would be fair to say Matthijs De Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu looked at a loss...
Elsewhere in the city, a raft of their teammates were also performing the role of appointed volunteers… to meet and greet their sizeable Malaysian fanbase.
Not long off a 14-hour flight and having been told to find a new club by his manager, Alejandro Garnacho looked as if he would rather defecate in his own hands and clap than sign shirts.
