Ruben Amorim burst out laughing when questioned about Alejandro Garnacho's future at Manchester United following his side's 1-0 defeat to ASEAN All-Stars during their post-season tour.
The 40-year-old Portuguese manager initially stared down towards his hands when a reporter posed the question about the winger's prospects at Old Trafford.
When the journalist used the word "hopeful" regarding Amorim's feelings about Garnacho staying, the United boss erupted into laughter.
He was giggling to himself and appeared genuinely amused by the question, which was ultimately answered by Amad Diallo instead.

Amorim is said to have told the 20-year-old winger to find a new club after the match.
The situation was further inflamed when Garnacho's brother suggested the player had been "thrown under the bus" by the manager.
This public intervention added fuel to the fire surrounding the deteriorating relationship between the Argentine international and his head coach.
Garnacho is now expected to leave Old Trafford this summer as the rift appears irreparable.
United are believed to want £60million for the winger, with club officials willing to negotiate if a suitable offer arrives this summer.

The club's willingness to enter negotiations suggests they are prepared to facilitate his exit provided the terms meet their requirements.
With the transfer window approaching, United's stance indicates they will not stand in the way of a move that satisfies both the player's desire for a fresh start and the club's financial expectations.
