Borussia Dortmund attacker Jamie Gittens
Jamie Gittens is close to joining Chelsea
As we head towards the start of July, the transfer dominoes are beginning to fall.
have been busy in the transfer market already, securing the £62.5million signing of Matheus Cunha as well as working on a deal for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.
But United are keen to sell too and have made the sales of Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and a priority this summer.
Garnacho's talent is undoubted but has issues with his attitude. His departure would be more of a message of authority rather than a decision made about performances on the pitch.

It is a decision that has polarised the United fanbase but just because Amorim has decided he has to go, doesn't mean United should shirk on getting full value for the 20-year-old in the transfer market.
With that in mind, Chelsea agreeing a £55million deal for the transfer of Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens would have made United stand up and take notice.
First of all, because Chelsea was seen as a possible landing spot for Garnacho and now the fact they are signing Gittens, and already have Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto, Tyrique George and Willian Estevao as winger options, it all but rules that prospect out.
But, more importantly, it gives United an important transfer benchmark.
Gittens scored 12 goals and registered five assists last season. It is a fine return for a 20-year-old winger but Garnacho, who is the same age, managed 11 goals and 10 assists.
It means Garnacho had four more goal contributions last term and he also had 10 goals and seven assists to his name the season before.
Garnacho has proven in two consecutive seasons he can perform in the Premier League and his stats are better than Gittens - who remains unproven at Premier League level.
That is not to say Gittens isn't a good player. He's an exciting talent whose potential has an incredibly high ceiling. But if £55million is the going rate for Gittens then United should not go lower than that.
Dortmund have proven to be excellent sellers in the past. United have to take a leaf out of their book and extract the best possible price for Garnacho this summer.
