Alejandro Garnacho has been told to get out of Man United with haste amid ongoing talks with Chelsea for a permanent move.

After it being made extremely clear he wasn’t a part of Ruben Amorim‘s long-term plans, the Argentinian has been pushed to the fringes as he looks to find a way out of Old Trafford.

Dubbed as one of the “bomb squad” members, the 21-year-old has been linked with a move to the Blues this transfer window as part of their big summer spend.

Yet, sources have told Football Insider that Chelsea will wait for Man United to reduce their asking price before making any further bids.

He is certainly an unpopular figure among fans and pundits with ex-Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan particularly not fond of the South American.

Speaking on talkSPORT (12 August), the former Eagles chairman laid into the United academy graduate, expressing his distaste for the winger.

In a mini-rant, he said: “I think he’s a little runt.

He should be drop kicked out of Man United the first available opportunity for a decent amount of money because he doesn’t understand which football club he’s playing for and I’m not interested in his opinions about who didn’t support him, who didn’t clap him when he scored a goal…I’m not interested in any of that.

“I’m interested in a player that plays for arguably the biggest club in English football and respects the opportunity and he doesn’t.”

Football Insider verdict

With less than a month until the end of the summer transfer window, time is running out for the Argentinian to land a move to the Blues.

The 21-year-old hasn’t featured for the Red Devils since May, suggesting his United career is done and dusted.

Enzo Maresca and the Chelsea hierarchy will be aware of the red half of Manchester’s need to sell their deadwood before the end of the window and have the luxury to hold out on making further bids until deadline day.

The Italian already has a wide array of wingers to call upon and does not necessarily need the South American, especially for a reported eye-watering sum of £50million (BBC Sport).

Todd Boehly and co.

will bide their time to force Sir Jim Ratcliffe to lower the price, potentially grabbing the winger on a cut-price deal out of desperation.

If a transfer does not materialise, it would seem the number 17 will continue to be in exile as he rots in the reserves waiting for a saviour to sweep him off his feet.
