Julio Enciso and Tyler Dibling could be potential replacements for Alejandro Garnacho at Manchester United
Alejandro Garnacho is seemingly moving towards the exit door at Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim appears to be ready to sanction his departure following the fallout from the decision to leave the Argentina international on the bench the Europa League final.
Garnacho travelled on the post-season tour of Asia but cut a surly figure and an exit now seems inevitable.
Napoli were heavily linked in January while Chelsea have also been credited with an interest. The 20-year-old will surely have other suitors too and United could sanction a move for around £40million.
That would represent pure profit on the club accounts and offer an opportunity for reinvestment into the squad. With that in mind here's three possible replacements for Garnacho.
Tyler Dibling
The Southampton teenager is likely to move on this summer after the Saints were relegated to the Championship. The 19-year-old caught the eye in the Premier League this season and will have no shortage of suitors.
Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked and while a price tag of £55m is hefty, Dibling could be a star of the future. While he has mainly been deployed on the right at St Mary's he could slot into a number 10 position at Old Trafford.

Bryan Mbuemo
He would be a statement signing. Links with the Brentford man have intensified in recent days and he would command a fee of around £50m.
He'd be a dream addition given he would arrive with a proven Premier League goal return and undoubted quality but United would face competition and the lack of European football could be a stumbling block to any deal.
The Cameroon international is versatile and scored 20 top flight goals this season for a Brentford side who will seemingly sanction his departure if the price is right.
Julio Enscico
Something of a left field choice but United were linked in January with the Brighton man. He ultimately joined Ipswich on loan but will return to the Seagulls this summer.
His future may well sit away from the Amex and while his name might not jump off the page, the 21-year-old fits the position and profile United are looking for.
He has shown glimpses of his potential at Brighton and could provide an intriguing option at Old Trafford.
