Ruben Amorim swings the axe! Man Utd boss sends brutal message to Alejandro Garnacho as he informs players he will stay on next season

The Athletic reports that Amorim has addressed his players about his intention to stay at Manchester United for the upcoming season. Earlier this week, the Portuguese coach offered to walk away from the club without compensation if the board and supporters felt he could not take the club forward.

Sources close to Manchester United indicated Amorim also took the opportunity to tell Garnacho to find a new club. The young winger expressed his frustrations over his limited role in the club's 1-0 loss to Spurs in the Europa League final earlier this week. Speculation over the Argentinian's future has swirled for the best part of six months. Reports in January suggested that Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo could be moved on to help with financial regulations. The relationship between Amorim and Garnacho has appeared fraught at times, with the 21-year-old rebuked for a negative reaction to his substitution in a Premier League fixture against Ipswich Town in February.

Garnacho joined the Old Trafford club's academy in October 2020, and has made 144 appearances for the club. During his tenure, he has logged 26 goals and 22 assists. It is believed Napoli are interested in the player, as the newly-minted Italian champions lodged a rebuffed bid in the winter transfer window. Chelsea, and a pack a other Premier League clubs, could also make a move for the winger.

Any rumours over Garnacho's future could be strengthened should he fail to make United's squad for their season closing fixture against Aston Villa on Sunday. If the 21-year-old is left out, it could confirm his future lies outside of Manchester.
