European giants Barcelona and Juventus are monitoring Alejandro Garnacho’s situation at Manchester United, according to The Sun.
The Argentine winger’s frustrating start to the season, spent largely on the bench, has sparked speculation about his future at Old Trafford.
A reported row with manager Erik ten Hag over a social media post has put the Spanish and Italian giants on high alert, with United valuing Garnacho at £50m.
“Two of Europe’s biggest clubs are monitoring Alejandro Garnacho as his frustrating start to the season continues,” states the outlet. “The Argentine winger has had to spend a lot of time on the bench so far. His surprising lack of action even led to claims of a row with boss Erik Ten Hag who was reportedly angry about a social media post Garnacho shared about not playing.”
It added: “Now, SunSport can reveal the situation has put Barcelona and Juventus on red alert. The Spanish and Italian giants are tracking the situation and could be willing to try to tempt United with a massive bid in thesummer. United are believed to value the player – who is a huge favourite with fans – at £50m.”
Garnacho’s contract situation and Ten Hag’s uncertain future have cast doubt on the winger’s long-term prospects at United.
Manchester United have been in a frustrating form in recent games. The team struggled for a 3-3 draw against Porto in the UEFA Europa League last night as substitute Harry Maguire salvaged a point for the 10-man team.
Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund had put Manchester United ahead, but Porto fought back through Pepe and Samu Omorodion’s double.
Manchester United have now conceded three goals away from home in consecutive European games, with the team winning just one of their last ten games in European competitions. The team had recorded five defeats, four draws and one win (vs Copenhagen at home) under Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United will play Aston Villa next in the Premier League.
