It looks like a decision on Alejandro Garnacho has now been made, as the latest transfer news is that he ‘will be leaving’ Manchester United this summer, with a number of clubs already in waiting.
The Garnacho situation is one that the Man United administration, manager Ruben Amorim and fans alike would have wanted to avoid if possible, but with the talented winger and his entourage making plenty of noise off the pitch, it seems that it was only ever going to end one way.
Now, just a few weeks on from that season-defining game, when there was already plenty of doubt around his future at Old Trafford, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that a decision has been reached between both Garnacho and the club, with the 20-year-old expected to leave this summer.
🚨🇦🇷 Alejandro Garnacho will leave Man United, decision confirmed on player and club side — set to part ways.
Understand staying in Premier League serious option with 3 clubs already very keen… after Bayer Leverkusen and Italian clubs calling.
Yes, Romano claims that the board have now bitten the bullet and a reconciliation between Garnacho and the United boss looks unlikely, with a decision now “confirmed.”
Moreover, the Italian journalist goes on to add that there are at least three clubs who are “already very keen”, with even more expected to be monitoring the situation over the coming weeks and months.
The situation has shades of Erik ten Hag’s ousting of Jadon Sancho or even how Amorim approached the fallout with first-team star Marcus Rashford, whose future is still up in the air following his loan deal at Aston Villa expiring.
Romano elaborated that while it looks like a “very difficult deal to do” financially for a number of those interested – Bayer Leverkusen, and Serie A sides like Napoli being some of those floated thus far, as well as plenty of Premier League teams.
In terms of domestically, Chelsea have been considered suitors of the number 17 for several months now, and have already begun their spending in this window by snapping up one of the Red Devils‘ supposed targets in Liam Delap.
You can see his full breakdown of the situation, among other transfer window updates, in more detail down below:
The youngster and academy product had been considered one of the club’s brightest prospects and bargains in recent years when he was picked up at just 16 from Atlético Madrid – not to mention quickly becoming a fan favourite – but it seems, ability aside, his character simply doesn’t fit the dressing room.
Since both Sancho and Chelsea have been mentioned, it’s also worth touching on those somewhat controversial circumstances.
While you could argue Amorim isn’t really losing a winger since the 25-year-old is now set to return to Carrington for the time being (a player he hasn’t been able to get his hands on yet), with Chelsea opting to avoid their obligation to sign him permanently, it still looks likely he’ll leave Man United.
Nevertheless, were the Portuguese coach somehow able to get a tune out of the previously exiled loanee, it could be intriguing to see how this one develops.
Kobbie Mainoo asked Manchester United for a loan away – and the club rejected him
Danny Jones
Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo has recently asked for a loan move this season, but his employers have reportedly rejected his request.
The Man United academy graduate and young England midfielder is widely considered one of the brightest prospects in the club, not to mention admired in the Three Lions camp already.
After breaking into the first team under Erik ten Hag (having previously been thrown into senior training by Ole Gunnar Solskjær), he was quickly identified as one of the best players United have in the middle of the park, having also scored a number of important goals in big games.
However, Mainoo has somehow found himself not quite in the starting XI under Ruben Amorim – much to the frustration of many supporters and, unsurprisingly, the player himself – leading the Stockport-born starlet to consider the loan market for game time.
Probably the best case scenario for us if the manager isn’t going to play his best pivot player despite having the easiest midfield in the league to play against…
As reported by The Athletic and multiple outlets, Amorim and the powers that be at Man United have made it clear they do not want to loan him out this summer.
Not only do they have no intention of sanctioning a spell away this season, but the manager and the board have reiterated that they want him to stay and fight for his place.
For any Reds fearing that this could ultimately mean the worst for Mainoo at Old Trafford, fret not; it is said that the 20-year-old has no intention of pursuing a permanent transfer away from his boyhood club.
Put simply, the academy graduate wants to guarantee himself not just more regular game time but crucially first team minutes during these crucial early stages of his development as a footballer – something he’s still not sure he’ll get under the Portuguese head coach.
Nevertheless, the United boss has assured that he wants Mainoo, even if he isn’t quite the right fit for his system at the moment/has more to learn about the role he is being asked to play.
It’s fair to say that the revelations have rocked a good chunk of the fan base, with plenty calling for Mainoo to be dropped straight back into the starting lineup.
However, some are urging patience on all sides. One user on X wrote: “Not starting every week at 20 doesn’t mean you need a loan — it means you need patience. Respect the shirt, fight for the spot. If the bench at United breaks your spirit, good luck making a World Cup squad.”
On the other hand, footballer podcaster Alice Abrahams commented: “The fact that it’s reached a point where Mainoo has asked to leave on loan, because he feels that getting away is the best move for his development is frightening, especially when he offers so many solutions in midfield to a lot of Amorim’s problems, both in build-up and centrally is WORRYING.
“And the fact that Amorim doesn’t see him is an answer to that [problem] is deeply worrying.”
What do you make of the situation with Kobbie Mainoo at the moment, Reds, and while you’re here, what do you make of the Man United manager not watching his side’s historic penalty shootout defeat to League Two Grimsby Town?
