Chelsea handed Alejandro Garnacho boost with Ruben Amorim evasive on Manchester United future Ruben Amorim has refused to rule out the possibility of Alejandro Garnacho potentially leaving Manchester United this month amid transfer interest from Chelsea.
United boss Amorim was evasive on the future of the former Atletico Madrid youngster after the dramatic last-gasp 2-1 victory at Old Trafford secured by captain Bruno Fernandes’ stoppage-time volley that came after substitute Cyriel Dessers looked to have snatched a late point for Rangers to cancel out an unfortunate own goal from Jack Butland.
The Argentine’s future has become one of the headline stories in the latter stages of the current January window, with suggestions that United may accept the big-money sale of an academy graduate that would count as pure profit in their accounts when it comes to satisfying the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Garnacho was recalled to the United starting XI for Thursday night’s so-called ‘Battle of Britain’ clash against Rangers in the Europa League, delivering a lively display that saw him provide his side’s main attacking threat in the first half before hitting the post from inside the box in the second.
Chelsea are widely believed to hold a strong interest in Garnacho having previously been linked with Kobbie Mainoo, with reports on Thursday that they were set to make an official approach to United over the 20-year-old forward.
