Manchester United star keen on move to La Liga giants

Manchester United are reportedly open to selling wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho, a player they deemed unsellable earlier. As reported by TheBootRoom correspondent Graeme Baile via Football 365, the Argentine prodigy is frustrated with life under head coach Ruben Amorim.

The report suggests that the 20-year-old is attracting interest from his former club Atletico Madrid. The youngster was snapped up by the Red Devils from the Spanish capital club in 2020 reportedly for £400,000.

Garnacho has been one of the very few successful signings made by Manchester United in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. He has been a breath of fresh air for the club since making his senior debut in 2022.

The fleet-footed winger has so far made 115 appearances for the Red Devils scoring 23 times while providing 13 assists. He is the club's top scorer in all competitions this season with eight goals and four assists in 29 games.

However, the eight-cap Argentine international has struggled for regular minutes under new manager Ruben Amorim. He was notably omitted from the matchday squad to face Manchester City last month but has reclaimed his spot since.

It was previously reported that Garnacho was one of the three players Sir Jim Ratcliffe deemed untouchable alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund. However, his stance has reportedly changed and even Mainoo could now be sold to comply with PSR regulations.

Alongside Garnacho, Atletico Madrid are also reportedly interested in another Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford. The England international has gone out of favor since Amorim's arrival and has attracted interest from a host of clubs.


Manchester United keen on Liverpool target but would struggle to afford the player's £40 million fee: Reports

Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Liverpool target Milos Kerkez in January but might not be able to afford the asking price. As reported by TEAMtalk, the Red Devils have set their sights on the Bournemouth full-back to solve their left-back crisis.

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have both struggled with persistent injury problems putting the Red Devils in a tight corner. They have played just 339 minutes of football across competitions between them this campaign.

Kerkez is reportedly a player Manchester United have been tracking for a while even before Sir Jim Ratcliffe's minority acquisition of the club. However, they could face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea for the 21-year-old.

Kerkez has been a huge success for Bournemouth since his reported £15.5 million move from AZ Alkmaar in 2023. He has made 53 appearances for the Cherries so far scoring once and providing three assists.
