Garnacho's frustration over his late substitute role in United's Europa League final loss to Tottenham intensified the conflict.

According to reports, tensions with Amorim reached their peak when the manager publicly instructed Garnacho to seek a new club in front of the entire squad.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Garnacho was asked if he had any regrets about how his time at United concluded. 

"Maybe yes, because I loved that club," he conceded. "They gave me the confidence from the start... it was four or five years and amazing love from everyone, from the fans to the stadium, everything was really good."

"I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before," he said. "I started to be on the bench... in my mind, it was like I had to play every game. In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things."

"I am really proud to be here and still in the Premier League at a club like this," Garnacho continued. "With United, I have nothing wrong to say about the club, no one in the club or the teammates. It's just a moment in life that changes and life continues. I have no regrets."
