Napoli and Chelsea doubts over Alejandro Garnacho’s temperament holding back potential bids – Man United News And Transfer News

1

Alejandro Garnacho’s Manchester United future is currently up in the air with INOES reportedly open to offers for the 20 year old.

However, despite interest from clubs across Europe, Garnacho is still very much a United player underlined by his starting the last two games for Ruben Amorim.

Napoli and Chelsea have been in contact over a potential move, with the Serie A side making a formal offer of £40 million, which was rebuffed by the United board.

The Italians are hesitant to up their offer for the winger as they, along with Chelsea, harbour concerns over the winger’s temperament.

As reported by The Telegraph, both clubs have “attempted to get reassurances” over Garnacho’s attitude as part of their homework on a player who has struggled for form this season.

With United holding out for a fee north of £50 million for the academy product, any club that takes a punt on the Argentine will want him to hit the ground running.

Garnacho’s professionalism has been called into question at times since his breakthrough to the first team at Old Trafford with Amorim dropping him for the Manchester Derby citing such issues.

Club captain Bruno Fernandes has also challenged the youngster over the last couple of years who burst onto the scene under the guidance of former manager, Erik ten Hag.

Despite his up’s and down’s, Garnacho has been a rare shining light for United in recent seasons, providing some fine moments since his debut in 2022.

His outrageous bicycle kick goal against Everton last season recently won the coveted Puskas Award and will live long in the memory of United fans.

There is no doubt the forward has potential and The Telegraph do stress United are in no rush to move the Argentine on, should his asking price not be met.

Garnacho has shown signs of his capabilities in his back-to-back starts and will be desperate to get back to his best for the second half of the season.

Amorim will be hoping for the same and the youngster is likely to be involved in tomorrow’s (Sunday) important Premier League fixture against Brighton with United looking to avenge the loss from earlier in the campaign and edge closer to the Seagulls in the table.
