According to Give Me Sport, Manchester United are ready to accelerate a decision on Alejandro Granacho’s future amid big interest in the Argentine attacker. The 20-year-old has had suitors like Chelsea and Napoli since January, and the Red Devils could hastily sell the winger to boost their summer budget.
Alejandro Granacho has been improving since the arrival of Ruben Amorim and has started most games under the Portuguese manager so far. He was the subject of a departure back in January when Napoli and Chelsea expressed big interest in the 20-year-old Argentine, but circumstances dictated his stay at the club.
Garnacho being a homegrown talent brings plenty of value in the market, as Manchester United could now have a hard think over their stance on the Argentine. The youngster is open to leaving the club in the summer, and he will have a lot of suitors in the market.
Chelsea and Napoli are still seen as front-runners to sign Alejandro Garnacho, and the two clubs could potentially make another attempt to lure him in. Manchester United are now ready to accelerate a decision on the Argentine’s future as a sale could be on the cards for the winger.
Manchester United want to finalise his future before the end of the current month as per the report, as Garnacho’s departure could significantly boost their summer budget. However, they might stick to their plan of bringing someone as the 20-year-old’s replacement before sanctioning any sale, and there are some notable names linked with a move.
Sporting CP star Francisco Trincao is a big target for Manchester United, as Ruben Amorim has used him similarly to how Garnacho plays in the team. This could be a favourable move for all parties, with the Portuguese attacker likely to cost a decent sum but not expected to be overly expensive.
Their main target is Matheus Cunha, who has been in talks with Manchester United. There are reports that the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle United are trying to get into the race for the Brazilian, as he could be seen as the ideal addition to the team as well as a direct replacement for Alejandro Garnacho. Any sale of the Argentine will likely depend on the club’s ability to get either Cunha or Trincao over the line.
