If anything, it should be Man utd who decides the punishment. It’s has got fucking nothing to do with FA. Fix your fucking VAR & referee first
The FA is ridiculous lmao
United losing all of their forwards lol
LMFAo
He didn’t meant like that but deserved
Any Argentines/Spanish speakers that can clarify what this was meant to convey? It obviously looks absolutely awful in our cultural context, but it also makes zero sense to think he was trying to be insulting. Curious what he was trying to say
Doubt it has anything to do with where he’s from and maybe just him being a bit innocent and not immediately associating the gorilla with racism.
Josip Juranovic posted the same emoji in the Instagram comments of Cameron Carter Vickers whilst he was at Celtic, CCV is known for his strength so everyone knew he was making a comment about that but he deleted his too because of the same reasons here.
Not sure if related but “mono” = “monkey” is also a kinda popular nickname for goalkeepers. I would say gorilla is a better version of the nickname
Some examples
Navarro Montoya = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Navarro_Montoya
Burgos = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germán_Burgos
Monetti = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Monetti
Sanchez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Sánchez_(footballer,_born_1987)
Martinez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramiro_Martínez_(footballer)
(some of them you might have to open spanish version of wiki to see the nickname)
Beast!
Probably just meant to convey strength and size and general “power”
Doesn’t matter how his teammate took it or how it was intended because nuance is not allowed. Social media faux-rage is the only barometer for things like this.
The FA should unleash the firing squad on him.

Maybe send him over to their friends in Saudi Arabia to be stoned?
Paywall. What did he post?
The fact he deleted it means he knows it was “wrong” meaning the FA are free to throw the book at him.
3 games, 100k. Same as Cavani. The fine may be lower since he earns far less than Cavani did.

Absolutely fucking not.
Complete joke if they try and ban him, now I’m a United fan so there may be some bias here…
but he tweeted a picture of him, Maguire (who scored the winning goal) Onana (who saved a last minute penalty) and Mctominay with Maguire and Onana clearly being the main 2 in the photo.
Garnacho didn’t use 1 emoji of a gorilla directed at Onana… he used 2… the way I see it, he clearly meant it as being 2 beasts who won us the game.
I think it’s fair to say anyone thinking there was ill intent are the racists. Embarrassing that the kid had to delete it and feel bad
Ok put it on the queue behind city’s 115 charges that are being investigated for 84959402 years
Its okay to post a white man with a 🐐 emoji, but its not okay to post a black man with a 🦍 emoji?
i’m not saying that garnacho should be banned, but calling white people goats doesn’t have any racist history behind it ?
Does this dude have lip filler
It seems to me FA are the racist ones and not Garnacho. Just ban the fucking useless refs instead
