Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is expected to leave the club this summer, and his latest actions won’t help his cause.
Alejandro Garnacho cut a miserable figure on Manchester United’s postseason tour, dragged along when he would clearly rather be anywhere else.
Head coach Ruben Amorim had blasted Garnacho following the Europa League Final, where the youngster had vented on social media about not starting the game.
United plan to cash in on Garnacho this summer to raise funds, selling a player who does not fit especially well into Amorim’s system. Now the club need to find a buyer.

Alejandro Garnacho wears Aston Villa kit
Alejandro Garnacho is on holiday in Ibiza. But this does not mean he is necessarily keeping a low profile.
Garnacho has shared an image wearing an Aston Villa kit, with Marcus Rashford’s name and number on the back.
Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored two Premier League goals.
Garnacho’s message brought a response from Rashford, who wrote: “My brother,” appreciating the support.

Questions over Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho future
Alejandro Garnacho’s post was one of several photos he included in a post showing holiday snaps.
And while he might just say he is showing support for Rashford, why not simply wear a Manchester United kit with Marcus Rashford on the back?
Imagine how this would be taken if Rashford had shared a picture wearing a Chelsea shirt with Jadon Sancho on the back, for instance.
Garnacho’s post highlights the immaturity he has often displayed on social media at times that have tested Manchester United’s patience. He knows exactly what he is doing with this post.
And there is a possibility that Garnacho ends up at Aston Villa, with Diario AS reporting they hold an interest in his services.
With United linked to Villa’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, there is even possibility of a swap deal.
Marcus Rashford is currently unlikely to return to Villa. He is dreaming of a move to Barcelona, but might have to be more realistic, just like he had to be back in January.
