Last week, Manchester United insulted their supporters by planning to add a player to the squad. This week, they are doing the same by being open to letting one leave.
News of the club being prepared to sell James Garner ahead of the transfer window closing was never going to go be well received. In fact, it has generated just the sort of backlash that was expected and that it deserves.
Supporters, still reeling from Saturday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, are furious with the club's willingness to offload a player who many consider as one of their most brightest prospects. Garner, who joined United's academy at Under-8s level in 2009, flourished so often on loan at Nottingham Forest last season that his chances of becoming a regular fixture in Erik ten Hag's plans this term seemed promising.
