WTF is Garnacho doing?’ – Man Utd fans love ‘dope’ Stone Roses special edition kit but baffled by Argentine’s pose

The collection featured a special kit that featured the pattern from The Stones Roses’ debut album cover.

In announcing the collaboration, the items are supposed to represent the ‘Madchester’ era in the 1980s.

Manchester United players modelled the clothes as Marcus Rashford, 26, was pictured in a bucket hat and tracksuit top.

Garnacho, 19, was featured in one of the kit tops, but fans were confused because he was holding a lemon in his mouth.

Fans loved the collection as some described it as “dope” and “cool” but others were keen to comment on the Argentine’s pose.

One posted: “I’m sorry, what the fluff is Garnacho doing with the lemon?”

A second wrote: “If it has to do with Roses, why in the hell is Garnacho keeping a lemon in his mouth?”

A third commented: “What’s the lemon about?”

The pre-match part of the collection will be featured on February 11 ahead of the Premier League clash at Villa Park against Aston Villa.

The women’s team will also wear the outfits for the FA Cup tie against Southampton.

The Stone Roses were formed in Manchester in 1983 and consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield and drummer Alan John ‘Reni’ Wren.

The debut album cover featured lemons which has become a symbol of the band, which is why Garnacho is pictured with one.

Squire told Q magazine in 2001: “Ian had met this French man when he was hitching around Europe.

“This bloke had been in the riots, and he told Ian how lemons had been used as an antidote to tear gas.”

Their song This Is The One is often played at Old Trafford as the players make their way on to the pitch.

The band’s other tracks, such as Made Of Stone, are also featured at the ground.

Club legend Gary Neville was responsible for the introduction of the sone, as he explained on an episode of The Overlap.

He said: “When I became captain, I put This Is The One to walk out to and it has been there ever since.”

Man United used to walk out to the theme song from Rocky, but Neville argued that it had little relation to Manchester as the film is set in Philidelphia.
