Manchester United transfer news today.
The doubt over Alejandro Garnacho's Manchester United future is intensifying. Once a bright prospect and key part of the club's long-term plans, the 20-year-old Argentine winger now appears to be heading towards an Old Trafford exit. With squad omissions and tour body language, the signs are becoming difficult to ignore.
❌ Left Out of Big Games — A Telling Sign?
Manchester United's disappointing end to the 2024–25 season put extra scrutiny on every team selection. Garnacho was noticeably left out of several big games, including the Europa League final loss to Tottenham — a match where many expected him to have a significant impact. The shock exclusion has led to fierce speculation regarding his relationship with manager Ruben Amorim.
Amorim is said to have told Garnacho to "pray" for a transfer opportunity — a remark that has stunned United fan forums and pundit circles.

Social media was awash with comments like "He looks broken," and "He's definitely gone." Even body language experts chimed in, stating the winger's body language indicated extreme unhappiness.

Transfer Tug-of-War: Napoli and Chelsea in the Fray
Transfer rumors have only intensified. Napoli have reportedly made a £40 million bid, turned down by United — but that has not dented the interest. Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation closely, with the two clubs looking to capitalize on the winger's availability.
Garnacho, having progressed through United's youth system, would represent 100% profit on the books in terms of Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules, which may make a sale a highly attractive option for a cash-strapped United board.

Amorim's Mixed Signals

⚠️ What's Next for Garnacho?
Short of a dramatic change of heart, Garnacho may be sporting a different shirt before long. It is a bitter pill for Manchester United fans to swallow — one of their own potentially leaving just as he was reaching the age to be a game-changer.
United's recent tour loss to a team of ASEAN All-Stars and the instability behind the scenes all speak to a club in transition. Whether Garnacho will be a part of that new era — or a casualty of it — remains to be seen.
