Manchester United has reportedly issued a deadline for Alejandro Garnacho’s departure, despite manager Ruben Amorim’s firm stance. Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain following a disappointing 2024/25 season marked by poor form, attitude issues, and a clash with Amorim over his role in the 3-4-3 formation. His public criticism after a Europa League final cameo further strained his relationship with the club.
Amorim has made it clear that Garnacho needs to find a new club, but the player’s preference to stay in the Premier League complicates a transfer. While United is willing to be patient, reports suggest they want to sell him within days. The club aims to raise funds from the sale of several players, including Garnacho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho, but their desperation may weaken their negotiating position. Amorim, however, remains firm in his valuation of the players, stating that they won’t be held to ransom.
Despite interest from Napoli, Garnacho’s desire to remain in the Premier League has led to them exploring other options. Manchester United is prioritizing his transfer, with recent private talks aimed at getting him to make a decision by the end of the month. The £60m-rated winger’s situation adds another layer of complexity to an already challenging transfer window for the Red Devils.
