Alejandro Garnacho Rumored to Be the Target of £60m Move.

Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain as the club edged closer to the Europa League last 16 with a 2-1 win over Rangers at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford’s situation also hangs in the balance ahead of the transfer window’s closure on February 3. Coach Ruben Amorim admitted he was unsure of potential departures, acknowledging the financial pressures the club faces under profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Selling Garnacho, a home-grown player could alleviate these challenges but would be unpopular with fans, who chanted his name during the match. Chelsea and Napoli have shown interest in the 20-year-old winger with Chelsea reportedly bidding £60 million. Garnacho signed from Atlético Madrid in 2020 has made 118 appearances, scoring 23 goals including eight in 32 games this season.
Amorim praised his improvement and impact but noted that the club’s system limits the use of traditional wingers, raising questions about his fit. Rashford’s future appears more straightforward. The 27-year-old has been absent from all but one match since December 12, despite training fully. Potential moves to AC Milan and Barcelona have faltered due to transfer complications.
Though sources close to Rashford insist he is willing to play for United, pundit Rio Ferdinand believes the club seeks to move him on, suggesting a fresh start would benefit both sides. Amorim stressed his focus remains on the team while acknowledging the fluidity of the transfer market. As United navigates financial and tactical challenges, the fates of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford may significantly impact the club’s trajectory.
