Manchester United accelerate plans to sign Chelsea and Liverpool linked attacker as replacement for Alejandro Garnacho: Reports

Manchester United have reportedly accelerated their plans to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who has received interest from Liverpool and Chelsea. It is news from Sky Sports which suggests that the Red Devils see the aforementioned winger as a potential replacement for Alejandro Garnacho (via TeamTalk).

As per the report, the Argentine international could be on his way out of Old Trafford in the final days of the January transfer window. This would leave a gaping hole in the attacking department at Manchester United, particularly with Marcus Rashford's recent issues.

The left-hand side would become open to any newcomers, and Bynoe-Gittens could easily become a regular starter under Ruben Amorim in this position. As per the aforementioned report, the Red Devils are going to finalize this deal by paying £29.3 million before deadline day.

As for Garnacho, the young attacker seems to have numerous suitors, including Napoli and Chelsea. However, it seems that the Italian side are pushing for the player's signature, having lost Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain.

Bynoe-Gittens has been impressive for his German employers this season, having made 29 appearances across competitions, bagging 11 goals and five assists. A move to Old Trafford would earn him the opportunity to represent one of the biggest clubs in the world.

However, he will not be joining the most in-form Manchester United team there has been. At the moment, the Red Devils are struggling in the Premier League, placed 12th in the standings, and are unlikely to offer European football next season.
