Manchester United fans hoping for a calm summer might want to buckle up—things are already moving fast at Old Trafford.
The club is gearing up for a major rebuild under manager Ruben Amorim, and one of the first big headlines involves 20-year-old winger Alejandro Garnacho, who appears to be heading for the exit.
Trouble Behind the Scenes After Europa League Final
It all seems to have unraveled quickly for Garnacho.
After being benched in United’s Europa League final defeat to Tottenham last month, the young Argentine didn’t hold back his frustration.
He publicly slammed the team’s season, calling it “s***,” while his brother—who also acts as his agent—accused Amorim of “throwing him under the bus.”
That reaction didn’t go down well with the boss.
According to reports, Amorim didn’t mince his words.
During a meeting at United’s Carrington training ground, he reportedly told Garnacho—right in front of his teammates—that it was time to find a new club.
United Set a Price as Interest Builds
Despite the drama, there’s no shortage of interest in Garnacho.
According to The Independent, Manchester United have slapped a hefty £70 million price tag on the winger.
The club knows he’s still a valuable asset, especially given his age and the three years left on his contract.
At least five clubs are said to be tracking his situation, including Premier League sides Chelsea and Aston Villa.
On the European front, Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen are also eyeing a potential move.
A Potential Reunion with Ten Hag?
One interesting twist in all this is Bayer Leverkusen.
If Garnacho makes the move to Germany, he’d reunite with former United manager Erik ten Hag, who’s now rebuilding his career away from the Premier League.
That connection could play a role in Garnacho’s decision.
Garnacho Among Several Stars Set to Leave
Garnacho isn’t the only one potentially on his way out.
Ruben Amorim is looking to completely reshape United’s squad this summer.
That could mean big-name departures like Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho.
It’s clear that the new manager isn’t afraid to make bold moves.
New Faces Already Coming In
While players are being shown the door, United’s also bringing new ones in.
The club has already completed the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million—a deal that was finalized on the very first day of the transfer window.
Amorim isn’t stopping there. He’s also targeting Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres to add more firepower up front.
Both could come with price tags north of £60 million, meaning United will need to sell before they can buy.
Garnacho’s Sale Could Fund the Future
That’s where Garnacho fits into the financial picture.
With Amorim pushing for major reinforcements, United needs to raise significant funds.
If the club gets their £70 million valuation, Garnacho’s departure could become a key piece in rebuilding the squad for the next era.
