Before Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro Martinez, there were a few Argentine stars playing at Old Trafford such as Gabriel Heinze or Carlos Tevez. They all came, impressed for a while and then left with many different scripts. Martinez could also leave at some point in the future, but for Garnacho, if that comes at this time could be a disadvantage for Man United.
In the recent match against Rangers, although he did not score, Garnacho left his most impressive performance since the arrival of coach Ruben Amorim. The young star still has a lot of potential, Amorim really wants to exploit it to the end but if he can't keep it, he has no way.
The next 10 days will be the time to decide Garnacho's future because the winter transfer market will close. On 2nd of next month, Man United will face Crystal Palace. If the 20-year-old leaves Old Trafford smoothly, the match against Fulham on January 27 will be his last for the "Red Devils" (if he plays).
After the win over Rangers, Ruben Amorim has been speculating about his student's future. The 39-year-old strategist shared that everything could happen until the winter market closed. Amorim's statement is not a denial of Garnacho's departure from M.U, it is an acceptance that any scenario can happen. Once the head coach speaks about the future of a player, that star's destination may change very quickly.
In Amorim's 3-4-3 formation, Garnacho's position is perhaps the most difficult. The Argentine striker is very suitable in theory because he is a pure winger and a breakthrough. However, when assembled into the squad, Garnacho often appears harmless. The most recent Manchester Derby was when Garnacho was left out of the squad. Since then, he has only started 3/9 matches for Man United.
After the Rangers game, Amorim said Garnacho played well in many of his tasks. The M.U captain also praised the enthusiastic spirit of his student in the final minutes. Amorim said Garnacho has a lot of potential to develop and he is trying to exploit that.
Garnacho is still very young, his potential is clearly recognized. Recently, he has gradually moved inside to play closer to the penalty area, instead of simply drifting to get caught. If Amorim had given him more time, everything could have been fine for him and his team. However, Amorim is only the head coach, not the manager. Everything related to personnel transfers will be handled by INEOS. If the team's owners want to sell Garnacho to buy someone else, Amorim has no way.
The new replacement for Garnacho at Old Trafford (if any) will have to create a source of energy commensurate with the Argentine star, thereby suitable for Amad Diallo on the opposite wing. If they sell Garnacho but cannot find anyone in the context that Marcus Rashford has " run out of medicine", Man United will face great risks.
INEOS is reluctantly reluctant, but with its recent management style, it always prioritizes financial issues above all. If Garnacho joins Chelsea for 70 million Euros as rumored, it would be a profitable deal for Man United.
