And many of the Old Trafford faithful believe the Argentina international could be set for a stint on the sidelines once Ten Hag is informed of his antics.
One United supporter wrote: “He wants problems.”
Another said: “Boy’s getting benched indefinitely now.”
And another said: “Hopefully Garnacho gets sold.”
One remarked: Good, we’ll see more of [Amad] Diallo now.”
Another chimed in: “Garnacho liked it. My brother will be out of the squad tomorrow.”
Garnacho is no stranger to controversy over content critical of Ten Hag, after liking a number of posts slamming his gaffer following his substitution in United’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in April.
But his liking of Ronaldo‘s rant could land him in real hot water with the former Ajax manager.
Ronaldo’s second stint at Old Trafford ended prematurely following a public bust-up with his former manager, who he slammed in a tell-all interview with Sun columnist Piers Morgan.

And the Portuguese has once again taken aim at the under-fire Dutchman, telling former team-mate Rio Ferdinand: “Manchester, they need to rebuild everything, in my opinion.

“You have to be, to mentally say, ‘Listen, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I cannot say that.’
“We’re going to try. You have to try.’”
Ronaldo, 39, reckons Ten Hag must heed the advice of former players, including new assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, if he’s to have any chance of turning the club’s fortunes around.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner said: “If Ten Hag listens to Ruud, maybe he can [help himself].
“I think it can help a lot because he knows the club and the club should listen (to) the guys who were there.
“You [Rio] or Roy Keane or Paul Scholes or Gary Neville, whatever, Sir Alex Ferguson.

“You cannot, you cannot rebuild a club without knowledge.
“Not guys who work in [the] office. They understand.
“The people who understand the football, it was, 99 per cent is the people who were there in the dressing room.
“They know how to deal with the players. It’s the people who understand these things.
“So I believe that Ruud is going to help because he was inside the club. He knows the club. He knows the fans.
“If the coach listens to him, I think they can improve a little bit the club.”
United will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, travelling to St Mary’s to take on Southampton.
