Manchester United Confirms Alejandro Garnacho Exclusion Amid Chelsea Interest

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has publicly acknowledged the breakdown in his relationship with Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho, who is seeking a move away from the club. Garnacho, who was dropped for the Europa League final and excluded from United's pre-season tour, reportedly desires a new challenge under different leadership, a sentiment Amorim understands and respects. Chelsea has emerged as Garnacho's primary destination, with the club expected to formalize their interest after completing other transfers, while Aston Villa and Napoli have also been linked. Amorim emphasized that the situation is not personal but a natural occurrence in football when players want to pursue new challenges, and United is working to find solutions that suit all parties involved. Garnacho's exclusion from key matches and the so-called 'bomb squad' status highlight the club's clear message that he is not in their future plans. Despite the split, Amorim praised Garnacho's talent and conveyed a professional approach to managing the transfer process.
