It's a shock. Manchester United sell off Alejandro Garnacho 'Ace'

Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 17th (Korean time) 'Garnacho, who was considered unavailable for sale in Manchester United, could move to Atletico Madrid (Spain).'

Garnacho, born in 2004, left Atletico Madrid in 2020 to join Manchester United. Garnacho led Manchester United to the FA Youth Cup in the 2021-2022 season. United won the Youth Cup for the first time in 10 years. Former coach Erik ten Hag also paid attention to Garnacho as soon as he took office. He played in a total of 50 games, including the EPL, in the 2023-2024 season. He scored 10 goals in full. Recently, he also joined Argentina's A national team. He scored three goals and one assist in 15 English Premier League matches this season. A subtle air current was detected. Garnacho was completely excluded from the away league match against Manchester City on the 16th. On this day, Manchester United won a thrilling come-from-behind victory with a score of 2-1.

Citing a report by Spanish media Pichahes, Team Talk reported 'Ruben Amorim, Manchester United manager, appears to have decided to sell players that do not fit his system. Amorim said he was willing to sell his players.

As for the reason for excluding Garnacho from the match against Manchester City, Amorim said, `We try to evaluate everything, training performance, performance, participation. Everything is at stake when we analyze and choose players. It's my choice. It's simple. Everyone understands my decision. Of course, you have to win the game. It's a difficult situation. I make a decision after making an evaluation such as eating. There was communication after the last training session."

Reporter Graham Bailey "Amorim said there was no problem. But I don't like their attitude. I made it clear to the whole team what I expected. Amorim sees a certain level of skill, professionalism, attitude, dedication, etc."

Meanwhile, Garnacho has caused several controversies outside the ground. After replacing last season, he pressed 'Like' in a post criticizing Manchester United's coach Ten Hag. It became a problem. Garnacho apologized. Coach Ten Hach said, "Garnacho is a young player. You have to learn a lot. He apologized, and we'll move on.' He caused controversy over social media (social network service) again this season. He pressed 'like again '10 Hach sniping' by Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr). Another press express wrote 'Garnacho liked Ronaldo's SNS and deleted it. Ronaldo did not make eye contact with Ten Hag. Ronaldo terminated his contract with Manchester United in November 2022. It may be a subtle hint that Garnacho agrees with Ronaldo, his childhood hero. However, Garnacho has apologized to Ten Hag for online problems in the past. He might have thought it was a misjudgment to publicly agree with Ronaldo.
