Transfer preference
Garnacho's situation at United
Garnacho has reportedly turned down offers from other clubs as he prefers a move to Chelsea. The winger was told he could leave Man United at the end of last season and is currently not training with their first-team squad. United boss Ruben Amorim acknowledged that while Garnacho is a talented player, things haven't worked out for him at Old Trafford.
Manager's insight
Amorim speaks on Garnacho
Earlier this summer, Amorim said, "You can understand and you can see he's a really talented boy, and sometimes things don't work out." He added that "Garnacho wants a different thing with a different leadership," hinting at the player's desire for a new challenge. The United boss also stressed the importance of player sales this summer as he aims for a smaller squad without European competitions.
Information
Garnacho has made 144 appearances for Man United
Garnacho has clocked 144 appearances for Man United. He owns a tally of 26 goals and 19 assists. Last season, Garnacho made 58 appearances for the club, scoring 11 goals and making 10 assists.
Transfer speculation
Other United players attracting interest
Apart from Garnacho, there is interest in midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, and United are expecting bids for the 20-year-old.
