Garnacho’s future at United has been the subject of major conjecture from the moment he was exiled from the squad to face Manchester City last December.Manager Ruben Amorim felt he was not paying attention to instructions when the Argentina international was about to come on late in a Europa League tie with Viktoria Plzen.Although, unlike Marcus Rashford, Garnacho’s exile only lasted a single game. But he didn’t start again for another month. By that time interest from Chelsea, which included a visit to Stamford Bridge from the players’ agents for their game against Wolves, was already apparent.The deal did not go through, but it was close, and Garnacho was disappointed it didn’t happen.Given Amorim doesn’t use wide forwards, which is where the player feels he is best, compromise was only going to last so long.The uneasy situation erupted when Garnacho was left out of the Europa League final starting line-up, prompting a critical social media post from his brother Roberto and then a post-match interview from the player, who questioned why he had been omitted by Amorim.The United coach’s response was to tell Garnacho to find another club.For weeks, it has been obvious who the forward wanted it to be. Now it is confirmed.
