Rúben Amorim’s decision to leave Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of the squad for last month’s Manchester derby has sparked growing speculation about their future at Manchester United.
Garnacho is no longer considered “untouchable” at Manchester United, a recent report from the Daily Mail states. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all said to be showing interest.
Although a move isn’t guaranteed, the report suggests United could entertain offers, with any deal likely to start at a minimum of £70 million.
What’s the latest on Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford?
A new report from the Daily Mail suggests that Manchester United are open to selling Garnacho, believing he could fetch a higher fee than Rashford.

Former Manchester City star Shaun Wright-Phillips has pointed out what he sees as the main issue for Garnacho and Rashford. Wright-Phillips explained that Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation leaves both players without a defined role, limiting their impact on the field.
“I think, not because of talent, but Rashford and Garnacho have got a problem because they’re not used to playing that 10 position, both of them are used to being very wide,” Wright-Phillips said.
“He doesn’t play wide wingers; he plays with wing-backs, and I don’t think either of those two could be a wing-back. I think they’re going to find it hard to get into Amorim’s team in terms of attacking positions because I don’t think he knows his front two or three yet.
