Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has yet to hint that Alejandro Garnacho will stay at Old Trafford this month, amid interest from Chelsea and Napoli.
The United boss claimed after his side’s 1-0 win over Fulham that he was “really happy” with the young winger’s progress.
It was not easy for this young man under Amorim. Since the Portuguese coach took over in October, the 20-year-old has struggled to earn consistent game time, although speculation has been rife this month.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the ArgentineAs well as Serie A club Napoli. There were even suggestions that Garnacho could be part of a swap deal involving Christopher Nkunku, who is looking for a way out of Stamford Bridge. as Caught Offside Previously published.
But Garnacho has started to play a more prominent role in Amorim’s system, being used as a No. 10 behind the striker, even if displays have been hit-and-miss. He has featured in the starting XI for two of United’s last three Premier League matches, including the full 90 minutes of their 2-1 Europa League win over Rangers last week.
The head coach’s decision to give Garnacho more opportunities on the pitch could be seen as a way to show that he is still very much in his plans.

After the win against Fulham at Old Trafford, Armorim said: “He’s our player and I’m really happy with Garnacho, he’s improving a lot. I think he had a really good game last Thursday [vs Rangers].
“He’s a young kid so he can recover very well, he’s ready for this game and we want to use all of Garnacho’s talents to win this game.”
Any bid from a club would be an attractive prospect. If he is sold, his sale will amount to pure profit, as he is a graduate of the United Youth System.
Garnacho has made 119 appearances for United since making his senior debut in 2022. He scored 23 times.
