Alejandro Garnacho (21, Manchester United) was subjected to derogatory remarks from manager Ruben Amorim (40) in front of the team.
Global football media outlet Goal.com reported on the 28th (Korean time) that "Ruben Amorim told Alejandro Garnacho to 'pray that you can find a new team' in front of the entire Manchester United squad." This effectively indicates his release.
Garnacho is a winger whose strengths include aggressive dribbling and breakthrough ability using his quick speed, capable of playing on both sides.
He has good ball control, and his dribbling, passing, and shooting accuracy are decent, but his kick power and goal-scoring ability are still lacking, and there is inconsistency in his judgment. He is weak in link-up play and has a monotonous dribbling pattern, leading to frequent turnovers. His greedy tendencies and inconsistent performance are noted as weaknesses.
Of course, Garnacho is a young player born in 2004, and it should be noted that he is still in the process of developing.
Garnacho has participated in 58 official matches this season, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists, showcasing a solid performance. The issue was his playing time in important matches. Garnacho was not included in the starting lineup during the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on the 22nd and came on as a substitute in the second half.
Following this, Garnacho reportedly expressed dissatisfaction publicly towards manager Amorim. Amorim also countered during a press conference, asking, "Who was the one who missed the crucial chance in the semifinals?"
The situation between Garnacho and Amorim appears to be deteriorating. Goal.com cited the British Daily Mail, stating that "Amorim held a meeting at the Carrington training ground last Saturday and officialized the possibility of Garnacho's transfer."
According to reports, it was not a simple suggestion for a transfer; instead, he stated, "Pray hard that there’s a team willing to accept someone like you." This made it clear that Garnacho's future was over not only for himself but for the whole team.
Goal.com explained that "SSC Napoli and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Garnacho, and Manchester United values him at up to £70 million (approximately 130.1 billion won). However, given the effectively released situation, it is uncertain whether they can receive such a transfer fee."
