Man Utd boss confirms Alejandro Garnacho's exit

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed Alejandro Garnacho is expected to leave amid interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

The Argentina international had a good 2024/25 campaign with the Red Devils, contributing towards 21 goals across all competitions.

However, he is still expected to pursue a new challenge. He does not feature in the starting plans of Amorim following a public fall-out.

Amorim has now acknowledged that Garnacho will be parting ways with the club soon, he told BBC Sport:  

"Garnacho is a 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 has already agreed on personal terms with Chelsea and the Blues are expected to make a formal approach in the coming weeks.

Their current priority is on signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Once that is done, they are likely to focus on a deal for Garnacho.
