11-goal Man Utd ace 'increasingly likely' to leave Old Trafford amid rift with Amorim

Manchester United could sell one of the poster boys of their academy this summer.

According to ESPN, Alejandro Garnacho is increasingly likely to leave Man United after manager Ruben Amorim dropped him from the starting XI in the UEFA Europa League final.

Garnacho’s camp is reportedly bracing for interest from both Premier League rivals and clubs in Saudi Arabia.

United are open to his sale if a realistic offer comes in.

Napoli and Chelsea were hot on his trail in January and could now return with renewed intent after sensing discontent behind the scenes.

The United academy star is reportedly unhappy with his role under Amorim.

The Portuguese boss prefers a 3-4-3 formation, relying more on a central creator behind the striker than on traditional touchline-hugging wingers.

Garnacho has thrived as a winger and has found it hard to adapt to an inward-attacking role.

Amorim chose Mason Mount ahead of Garnacho for the Europa League final, indicating that the Argentine may not have a guaranteed future at United.

The youngster has netted 11 times this season but his visible frustration has drawn criticism from segments of the fanbase.

Tensions boiled over after the final, when Garnacho appeared to aim a thinly veiled jab at Amorim for giving him just 20 minutes in such a crucial match.

While he may have had a point, airing grievances so soon after a painful loss has raised questions about his maturity.

His exit now seems highly likely, and United would ideally want an offer of around £60 million to sanction his sale.
