Why AMORIM could make a huge mistake by allowing Garnacho to leave Manchester United

With less than a month before the start of the Premier League 2025/26 season, the action of the transfer market for many teams, including Manchester Unite, is expected to start accelerating over the next two to three weeks.

The prolonged move of Marcus Rashford elsewhere was finally sealed with the international in England which has a loan of a season in Barcelona.

And he is not the only Red Devils winger that Ruben Amorim apparently said he would find a new club.

Garnacho becomes Old Trafford faithful on their feet

Under Erik Ten Hag, the young Alejandro Garnacho seemed to be the only player who would withdraw the faithful from Trafford to the possession of football.

A silence would descend as the ball arrived at its feet before this tribal roar started by triggering as the supporters of United pressed him towards the goal.

Some spectacular finishes, perhaps more than his incredible bicycle kick in Everton, quickly made him love supporters and teammates; However, there is clearly something about Garnacho who irrecesses his manager.

As it is in his own way, Amorim will say it as is, leaving no doubt about his intentions.

Ruben Amorim is not Sir Alex

Although it is a refreshing change to have a manager able to manage without any interference elsewhere – Sir Alex Ferguson did exactly that for more than a quarter of a century – there seems to be a situation developing under the Portuguese where he will cut his nose to bypass his face if it means getting things exactly how he wants them.

It is not clear if the situation was born due to a disciplinary question, a lack of will and desire on the part of the player or if Amorim does not really imagine it in a united team of the future.

This last scenario would be the most difficult to believe since the broad man already has 21 healthy goals and 13 assists in 104 United Games.

Given the fact that only Rashford (40 goals, 13 assists) and Bruno Fernandes (40 goals, 36 assists) had more production than Argentinian in the same time since he was at the club, pushing Garnacho out of the door may not be the best action plan in Amorim.

Perhaps the problem is not necessarily on the part of the player and it is more a training problem.

Four wingers in total said they move elsewhere

This is certainly a conclusion that could be drawn, because apart from Garnacho and Rashford, two other wingers – Jadon Sancho and Antony – were also informed that they were surplus.

With reports suggesting that United also reduced its price requested by 70 million pounds to 40 million pounds sterling, despair for Amorim to get rid of Garnacho is obvious.

However, there was not enough efforts made by the board of directors on incoming transfers, and that somewhat complicates things.

Apart from two 18-year-olds at Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik, the total sum of United Transfer activities this summer is the captures of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo.

With respect, they are not both type of signatures to put adversaries on red alert from the start.

Garnacho figures remain high

At 21, Garnacho has an entire career in front of him, and there is no ceiling that he will do in the game at the moment. The world is literally its football oyster.

With a shooting precision up to 66.7% last season and the ability to beat their rear at will, the young person has always been a threat. The way in which opposition defenders retreats is the clearest sign of respect for him because, frankly, Garnacho’s direct race makes them half to death.

A range of completion of passes which is only once plunged under 80% in the last three seasons firmly places it in the peloton of the Red Devils, and although it is not the best, it is certainly not the worst passer of the club either.

It is true that he tends to lose more duels than he wins, and this is likely to inform Amorim’s thought; However, a winger is generally not noted for their defensive excellence, but for their ability to enter inside and outside their closest markers, and both to mark and assist – all that Garnacho did at the Theater of Dreams with a relative component.

Best XG in Man United

An XG of 9.11 places it at the top of the tree for this metric, with 8.93 by Bruno Fernandes only reinforced until 11. 30 thanks to taking into account the penalties.

Therefore, cannot help thinking that a confrontation of personalities is to be blamed in this case.

Fergie prospered the same thing, but the difference between one of the best to manage in the English and Amorim game is that Fergie appreciated the constant success that allowed him to make such decisions.

Unfortunately for the Portuguese, the jury is always very out.
