Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim again refused to rule out a departure for winger Alejandro Garnach, who is still looking for his best role in the team’s new lineup.
Chelsea have been linked with Garnacho for weeks, but that hasn’t stopped Amor from giving the Argentina international a significant role in his side, starting with the 20-year-old in Sunday’s win over Fulham 1-0.
It was hardly a stellar performance Unitedforwards, but when pressed on Garnacho after the game, Amorim admitted he was still trying to find a suitable role for him in his preferred formation.
“He’s improving in every part of the game: understanding, when to defend,” Amorim said. “I’m trying to find the best position for him, today he played a little open, not so much inside. We need guys who can play one-on-one.”
Asked if he would still be a United player after the end of the transfer window, Amorim added: “No one knows that. Anything can happen.”
Amorim has made similar comments about Garnach in the past, challenging the young man to raise his game if he wants to keep his place in United’s starting line-up.
However, he praised Garnach for his reaction to being sent off in December alongside Marcus Rashford, whose expulsion from the team continues.
Chelsea are actively pursuing a new striker this week and are expected to advance your interest in Garnachowhile there were even discussions about a swap deal that would have sent Christopher Nkunku to United in exchange.
