Amorim's Tactical Shake-Up Leaves Garnacho Out
Amorim's signing has brought with it a burst of tactical reorganisation at Old Trafford. The Portuguese manager is renowned for his high-pressing, militaristic style, and early signs are that he wants to build his team around those that offer the reliable pressing, positional intelligence, and discipline.
Garnacho, being very confident and having a lot of flair in his football, is by many considered one of United's greatest prospects. But Amorim appears to favor experience and system-first football — a system that does not suit the more natural football of Garnacho.
Napoli Leading the Chase
Among the clubs following Garnacho's case, Napoli is the most serious candidate. The Serie A side need some depth and creativity to their forward line, especially with growing uncertainty surrounding the futures of players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Garnacho's ability to beat defenders and score from nothing has seen him targeted as a priority signing, it has been claimed. Napoli are to make a formal offer for him in the coming weeks, Calcio Mercato reports.
Garnacho's Departure to Fund Transfer for Mbeumo
If and when Garnacho is sold, Manchester United would receive a massive fee — one that would be used to bolster their attack. United's top target? Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford.
Mbeumo had a fantastic 2023/24 Premier League campaign with 9 goals and 8 assists before injury struck. Directness, defensive work ethic, and capacity to play on either flank make him a desirable signing to suit Amorim's attacking ethos.
United have already opened preliminary talks with Brentford for Mbeumo, who is worth £45–50 million, according to Sky Sports.
Mixed Fan Reactions
Garnacho's potential exit has split supporters. Some acknowledge the necessity for change from Amorim, while others are devastated at letting a young star who would have been an icon for the club go.
Social media reaction has been emotive, with many citing Garnacho's crucial goals in high-profile games and his interplay play with the likes of Marcus Rashford.
What's Next?
With the transfer window heating up, Garnacho’s exit could be finalized within weeks. Napoli remain front-runners, but other European clubs — including Atletico Madrid and AC Milan — are also reportedly monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s recruitment team is working swiftly to secure Mbeumo, hoping to add firepower and balance to the wing ahead of the new Premier League season.
