Garnacho post speaks volumes after Chelsea agree terms with Man Utd outcast

Alejandro Garnacho faces the prospect of little future at Manchester United after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim and he has since provided a clue over his future

Manchester United misfit Alejandro Garnacho has hinted that his Old Trafford nightmare could soon be coming to an end. The Argentine forward has next to no future with the Red Devils having been told to find a new club by Ruben Amorim at the end of last season.

A number of clubs have already been linked with Garnacho ahead of next month’s transfer deadline. Italian giants Napoli emerged as potential suitors earlier this summer but their interest appears to have cooled.

United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea have also made a move, having agreed personal terms with the young forward - albeit they still have to come to an agreement with the Red Devils. And Garnacho himself has now teased that a breakthrough might not be too far away.

The 21-year-old shared a picture of himself sitting in a gym with his head in his hands. And the emojis of a sand timer and ellipses were particularly telling.

United are expected to demand around £40m for Garnacho’s services given he has just under three years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford. Speaking earlier this summer, boss Amorim made it clear that Garnacho was likely to move on.

"I think with Garnacho, you can understand and you can see that he's talented, he's a really talented boy,” said Amorim. "But sometimes things don't work out and you cannot explain specifically what it is.

"But I have the feeling – and I think it's clear - that Garnacho wants a different thing with a different leadership and I can understand that.

"So I don't think it's a problem. Sometimes you adapt to one guy and you have the connection. Other times you want a new challenge. So we try to make everything OK for all parties. To the club, to the coach and to the player. It's a natural thing in football."

Garnacho is unlikely to be the only departure from Old Trafford before the end of the window. Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund are all expected to leave.

AC Milan have opened talks with United regarding the Danish striker’s services following the signing of Benjamin Sesko. Real Betis were also keen to re-sign Antony following last season’s loan spell but have struggled to get a deal over the line so far.

Elsewhere, a couple of promising youngsters could head out on loan over the coming weeks. Harry Amass and Toby Collyer are both being targeted by Championship crisis club Sheffield Wednesday.
