Spurs secured a 1-0 victory in Bilbao, ending their 17-year trophy drought with Brennan Johnson's goal just before half-time. This marked United's 20th defeat this season, the most since their relegation season in 1973-74 when they lost 22 matches.Garnacho was benched for the final, with manager Ruben Amorim choosing Mason Mount instead. The Argentine only played the last 19 minutes despite being instrumental in United's journey to the final, featuring in every match and contributing five goal involvements. Garnacho expressed dissatisfaction with his limited role, stating, "Up until the final I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes. I don't know."Throughout this season, Garnacho has been a key player for United, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists. Only Bruno Fernandes surpassed him in goal contributions for the team.

He wrote about Garnacho's hard work and contributions in previous rounds only to be sidelined during crucial moments.Amorim defended his decision by pointing out Garnacho's missed chance in the semi-final against Athletic Bilbao. "How many times have we had this conversation, and it was the opposite?" Amorim remarked. He highlighted how other players like Mason Mount had previously changed games when substituted in.The manager acknowledged that hindsight makes it easy to question decisions but emphasised that such choices are complex and situational. Despite criticism from fans and players alike, Amorim stood by his tactical decisions during the final.Garnacho is considering his options over the summer break. His future at Manchester United remains uncertain as he evaluates his role within the club following this season's events. The young winger has been linked with potential moves to Chelsea and Napoli earlier this year.
