Chelsea Make Enquiry About This Manchester United Talent: Good Move? | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho is one of the brightest prospects to come out of the Manchester United academy in recent years. He has been impressive in his short career so far, attracting eyeballs from across the globe. However, he has certainly fallen down the pack under Ruben Amorim.

Garnancho had done decently well in the ongoing season so far. He has eight goals and five assists in 31 games so far. He is averaging 2.5 shots, 1.1 key passes, and 0.6 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The Argentine attacker is versatile to don different roles in the attacking line. He is an intelligent footballer and provides a high work rate upfront. He can create chances for his teammates as well as bury them making him a valuable attacker.

Alejandro Garnacho has interest from multiple clubs

Despite having an impressive profile, Alejandro Garnacho isn’t on the top list of Ruben Amorim. Recently reports emerged that Manchester United are ready to offload the winger to book profits to improve their financial situation.

As per the latest developments, Chelsea recently established contact with their rival club to know about the availability of Garnancho. Just like they signed Jadon Sancho earlier in the summer, the Blues want to bring the Argentine this month.

However, the player won’t come at cheap as the Red Devils recently rejected a £40 million bid from Napoli. Moreover, the former side might not prefer selling the 20-year-old to their direct rival. For now, it will be interesting to see how Chelsea approaches this and if they will make an official move or not.
