Man United vs Fulham: What has been said? 

Dean Saunders believes Garnacho’s career could be on the line after his angry reaction to being substituted last time out. 

The Argentinian walked straight down the tunnel after being taken off in the first half by Amorim after Dorgu was sent off. 

Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast on Thursday, Saunders said: "He's walking on thin ice.

"If you look at the league table, there's not a player at Man United who can complain to the manager for not playing or getting brought off. Look where they are in the league.

"If he's arguing with the manager and the tactics, throwing his toys out the pram when he gets brought off…

"He's going to ruin his career if he carries on."
