Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has escaped a charge from the FA.

The Argentine attacker posted a photograph of goalkeeper Andre Onana and team-mates on social media.

The post was from the players' celebrations when they beat Copenhagen 1-0 in the Champions League group stages two weeks ago.

However, Garnacho used two gorilla emojis, which some people found offensive.

Garnacho deleted the post, while teammate Onana said afterwards that "people cannot choose what I should be offended by. I know exactly what [Alejandro Garnacho] meant: power and strength. This matter should go no further."

An FA spokesperson said: "We have concluded an investigation in relation to a recent post on Alejandro Garnacho's social media. We sought the player's observations as part of our investigation, and he explained that the use of two gorilla emojis was intended to highlight the strength and power of his teammates - specifically Andre Onana and Harry Maguire - following the pivotal roles that they played in Manchester United's win over FC Copenhagen.

"We are satisfied with Alejandro Garnacho's explanation and the context that it provides, so we will not be issuing disciplinary proceedings on this occasion. However, we have reminded the player of his responsibilities around social media posts and the use of emojis in particular which can be interpreted in different ways.

"We also intend to liaise with Kick It Out and the PFA to discuss other potential issues around the use of emojis and similar forms of messaging, and education that can be provided about them."
