Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has opened up on why Alejandro Garnacho is set to leave the club during the summer transfer window, even though he acknowledges the young Argentine’s impressive talent.
Amorim, who took charge at Old Trafford, revealed that while Garnacho’s ability is not in question, the working relationship between them never quite gelled.
“Alejandro Garnacho is really talented boy… but sometimes things don’t work out,
You cannot explain specifically what it is. It’s clear he wants a different thing with a different leadership.”
Garnacho Keen on Staying in the Premier League
Despite his impending departure from Manchester United, Garnacho has made it clear he wants to remain in the Premier League. This has drawn the attention of Chelsea, who are now actively pursuing him.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that although no formal discussions have been held yet between Garnacho and Chelsea, the winger is already on the Blues’ shortlist.
Chelsea’s Double Target: Simons and Garnacho
Chelsea are not only eyeing Garnacho but also pushing for a deal to bring in Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Both Garnacho and Simons are reportedly interested in making a move to Stamford Bridge, potentially giving the London club two high-profile young additions this summer.
Garnacho’s exit marks a significant shift in United’s attacking dynamics. The 20-year-old, once seen as part of the club’s long-term project, appears to have struggled under Amorim’s system and leadership style. With Chelsea already rebuilding and focusing on youth and flair, Garnacho may find a system that better suits his explosive style and ambitions for regular first-team football.
Amorim’s remarks hint at a broader issue of player-coach chemistry rather than form or attitude, underscoring how crucial personal and tactical alignment is in modern football.
