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.
God forbid they try and do smth about City though
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.
Surely Onana can just say “oh nah it’s fine he meant nothing by it” and the FA will drop it
Not really, what if there’s a serious case of racism but the player is forced to say that he’s OK with it due to the pressure from the club
Just a general thought
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
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)
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.
Garnacho had two midgets at his birthday party dressed up as Messi and Ronaldo as entertainment, he would never be demeaning to another human being. Free him.
Racism’s ok if it means a footballer I like won’t get banned 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
Got it. So Garnacho is either racist or stupid.
Its okay to post a white man with a 🐐 emoji, but its not okay to post a black man with a 🦍 emoji?
