Manchester United have placed a hefty price tag on Alejandro Garnacho amid interest from Chelsea to sign him next summer. United are willing to sell their youngster for the right price amid financial pressure and urgency to back Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils sacked Erik ten Hag this season and replaced him with Ruben Amorim after their campaign’s poor start. However, Amorim has struggled to make an instant impact due to the squad’s inability to adjust to his tactical requirements.
The Portuguese boss enjoyed great success at his former club, Sporting CP, by keeping his faith in his tactical style. Man United intend to do the same thing by letting Amorim sign the players he desires during the summer window.
Manchester United want at least £65m for Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea during the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, United have to sell a lot of their senior team players who are surplus to the current requirements. At the same time, most of these surplus players lack value due to their continuous struggle to remain relevant at United.
Due to the financial condition of the club, United have to sell some of their top young assets like Garnacho. According to the Daily Star, United have demanded at least £65m from Chelsea for Garnacho during the upcoming summer window.
The 20-year-old enjoyed a steep rise from the United academy and established himself as a regular player at the club. However, Garnacho has struggled to contribute more goals and assists frequently, displaying inconsistencies in the final third of the game.
The Argentinian has made 54 appearances in all competitions for United this season, contributing 11 goals and providing 10 assists. The team’s collective poor form and Garnacho’s age are the mitigating factors that act in his defence amid his immense potential.
