“I’ve been telling United to send him out on loan, and now Ruben Amorim is finally making it happen!” THis is according to Paul Scholes as a key Manchester United player is reportedly ‘set for’ a shock loan move, with Manchester United also open to including a massive option to buy in the deal. The young star might be heading for a major career twist under Amorim’s bold strategy to revamp the squad.
A stunning report has surfaced, suggesting that Manchester United are preparing to send Alejandro Garnacho out on loan, with a potential £60m buy option included in the deal.
A stunning report has surfaced, suggesting that Manchester United are preparing to send Alejandro Garnacho out on loan, with a potential £60m buy option included in the deal.
The Argentine winger, along with Marcus Rashford, drew attention when both were left out of the squad for the Manchester derby on December 15. Manager Ruben Amorim cited “standards and application” as the reasons behind their exclusion.
Garnacho has since made a return, coming off the bench in United’s last two matches. However, Caught Offside claims that his future may lie away from Old Trafford.
Their report highlights that a European club—yet to be named—has prioritized Garnacho as a main transfer target. While seven clubs, including Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Juventus, have expressed interest, the unnamed suitor appears ready to propose a loan deal with an option to buy.
Amorim has been given the green light to overhaul the squad, and offloading Garnacho could help fund the rebuilding process. A six-month loan spell in January could pave the way for a £60m windfall, though it’s noted that the buy clause would be optional rather than mandatory.
Who Else Could Be Leaving?
Marcus Rashford has also been linked with a potential exit after being left out of Amorim’s matchday squads for three consecutive games. While United are open to selling the 27-year-old, a January move is considered unlikely, with a summer departure being more realistic.
Meanwhile, players like Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen—both in the final year of their contracts—are reportedly available for transfer in January. Backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is also said to be unhappy with his limited opportunities and could seek a move.
However, Harry Maguire seems to have cemented his place in Amorim’s plans, with talks of a contract extension reportedly progressing positively.
Latest on Amorim and Rashford
Amorim has recently addressed Rashford’s situation, suggesting that the forward may be receiving poor advice from his camp. Following an interview in which Rashford hinted at seeking a new challenge, Amorim emphasized his focus on improving the player’s performance on the pitch.
“I understand these players have many people around them influencing decisions,” Amorim told Sky Sports. “As a coach, I focus on training and performance. I leave the rest for the club to handle when the time is right.”
