<p>Garnacho is one of five players, along with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/exodus-at-old-trafford-five-manchester-united-players-red-devils-they-want-to-leave-this-summer-ruben-amorim/blt685550af192a7a55" target="_blank">Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia</a>, who have been told to remain separate from the main training group while negotiations surrounding their futures continue. He has shared an image on social media of himself training alone in a gym. The Argentine's days in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-want-alejandro-garnacho-gone-red-devils-chelsea/blt613d7ac71f416bcb" target="_blank">Manchester are numbered, </a>and Napoli might provide him with an escape route from Old Trafford, as reported by <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-alejandro-garnacho-napoli-35529792" target="_blank"><em>The</em> <em>Mirror.</em></a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The tension between Garnacho and Amorim boiled over after the Europa League final in Bilbao, where Manchester United suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/just-smash-him-bruno-fernandes-alejandro-garnacho-man-utd-star-marcus-rashford-shirt/blt58895d109e59c7ae" target="_blank">Garnacho was left out of the starting XI</a> for that match, a decision that the young winger did not take lightly. Shortly after the game, Garnacho publicly questioned Amorim’s tactical choices and hinted at a desire to seek a new challenge elsewhere in the next campaign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Napoli, who previously failed with a £60 million ($81.53m) bid in January, are back in the frame and confident they can land the winger for closer to £45m ($61m). Talks between the two clubs remain active, with United hoping to secure a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alejandro-garnacho-social-media-harming-career-angered-man-utd-fans-marcus-rashford-alliance-risks-wasting-talent/blt4a42c4563b41df1c" target="_blank">deal that satisfies all parties</a> before the Premier League campaign kicks off.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As United gear up for the 2025–26 season, Amorim’s approach signals a clear intent to start fresh after a dismal 15th-placed finish in the league last season. Players who no longer align with the manager’s philosophy are being phased out, and Garnacho’s situation underscores just how much change is underway at the club.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR GARNACHO?

Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United continues to hang in the balance after the winger was pictured training alone, while the rest of the squad reported for pre-season at Carrington. The 20-year-old Argentine remains on the periphery of first-team plans under manager Ruben Amorim following a fallout that has diminished his standing at the club.
