Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim admitted he doesn't know what the future holds for Alejandro Garnacho.
The Manchester Evening News reported on Saturday that Garnacho had been told he was free to leave the club if they received an acceptable offer. Garnacho was omitted from the matchday squad to face Aston Villa on Sunday and watched the game from his private box.
Garnacho replaced Mason Mount in the 71st minute of the Europa League final against Tottenham and subsequently expressed his frustration at being named on the bench for the final when he spoke after the 1-0 defeat.
The youngster slammed United's "s**t" season and questioned Amorim's decision not to name him in his starting XI.
Amorim was asked if Garnacho had played his final game for the club after the win over Villa and said: "Garnacho is one more player of Manchester United, so I don't know what is going to happen in the future. He is a normal player."
Andre Onana was also not in the squad against Villa and Amorim was asked about the goalkeeper's omission.
"Onana was just for Altay (Bayindir) to have this experience," explained Amorim. "Sometimes the goalkeepers nowadays need space to play also, to feel important.
"Goalkeepers need to play, especially when you have competition. And then Garnacho is a Manchester United player who was not in the squad today, but he is a normal player in our club and I have no news that will change [that]."
