Former Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves is concerned about the potential sale of Alejandro Garnacho before the transfer deadline. It seems that the Premier League rival, Chelsea, is showing interest in the talented winger. Rumors have been circulating about Garnacho's departure from Old Trafford during the January transfer window.
Garnacho was once considered one of the most exciting and promising players at the club, but he has experienced a decline in performance over the past year. In fact, he was left out of the Manchester derby last month, and manager Ruben Amorim even hinted at his dissatisfaction with Garnacho's training output. However, unlike Marcus Rashford, who has not been given a second chance since a similar incident, Garnacho has worked hard to earn his place back in the team and has played in all seven of United's games in January.
In their recent Europa League match against Steaua Bucuresti, Garnacho came on as a substitute in the second half and helped secure a 2-0 win for Manchester United. The TNT Sports commentary team was impressed with his performance, but there is still a possibility that this could have been his last appearance for the club.
There have been talks of a potential sale of Garnacho before the transfer window closes on Monday night, and Chelsea is still considering a surprise deal. When asked about his thoughts on this, Hargreaves, who also played for United in the past, expressed his concern: "Big time. They might need the money to bring in other players that suit the manager's formation. But ideally, you would want to keep such brilliant, young players at the club."
Hargreaves also praised Garnacho's impact in the recent match, saying that he made a huge difference and was brilliant on the field. However, his fellow former United player, Louis Saha, has a different opinion. He believes that if a good deal is presented, the club should consider selling Garnacho. Saha explained, "From a financial perspective, academy players like Garnacho and Mainoo are seen as pure profit. If you sell them, it could potentially allow you to make some big moves in the transfer market."
Saha's perspective may not be popular, but he also acknowledges that football is a business. He believes that while Garnacho and Mainoo have been highly hyped, they have not yet proven themselves to be world-class players. In his opinion, if the right offer comes along, it may be wise to cash in on these young prospects.
In the recent Europa League match, Manchester United's Diogo Dalot scored the first goal after receiving a pass from Kobbie Mainoo. This was followed by a goal from England midfielder, which secured the win for United. Despite a disappointing season in the Premier League, the club remains unbeaten in Europe and has secured a spot in the Europa League knockout stages.
