Man Utd's Alejandro Garnacho has warning from Chelsea and Tottenham stars as 'deal agreed'

Alejandro Garnacho might approach a potential switch to Napoli with caution, given who their manager is. The 20-year-old Manchester United winger has started just once since being brutally dropped from the squad by boss Ruben Amorim before the Manchester derby in December. Consequently, talk of a January departure has intensified, particularly with Napoli considering him a potential successor to PSG-bound Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
According to reports, Garnacho has agreed personal terms with the Serie A club. United are open to letting the Argentine leave, but are holding out for a fee upwards of £60million, a sum Napoli are unwilling to pay at the moment. But while a move to Naples is being talked up, Garnacho may want to pay attention to the many concerning stories about playing under the club's fiery manager, Antonio Conte, before making his final decision. The Italian, who typically wears his heart on his sleeve on the touchline, is no stranger to conflict, whether with a single player or his entire squad.
At Tottenham, he clashed with several first-team stars and infamously criticised the squad's mental fortitude. Prior to his exit in March 2023, Conte delivered a scathing critique in a press conference following Spurs' 3-3 draw with Southampton, in which his side conceded two late goals.
He labelled his players 'selfish' and condemned them for having a loser's mentality. "They are used to it here," he exploded. "They don't play for something important. They don't want to play under pressure. They don't want to play under stress. It is easy in this way. Tottenham's story is this.
