Manchester United have a dilemma ahead over breakout star Alejandro Garnacho.
Last May, Alejandro Garnacho looked set for life at Manchester United, after firing the Red Devils to a FA Cup final win.
Even in September, Garnacho looked to be a big part of United’s future amid a strong individual start to the campaign. A lot has changed since.
Manchester United fired Erik ten Hag and replaced him with Ruben Amorim, who has admitted Alejandro Garnacho does not fit his system.
Amorim has started Garnacho in recent games, but he has not scored in his last 12 appearances in all competitions.
Alejandro Garnacho linked with exit
Alejandro Garnacho is now improbably being linked with an exit from Manchester United, with rumours gaining traction.
Napoli are keen on a deal, while Chelsea have emerged as surprise contenders.
United fans would not be happy to see Garnacho head to Stamford Bridge – but a move to Napoli, with a buy-back clause may be more tolerable.

Ex-Napoli star optimistic over move
The prospect of Alejandro Garnacho moving to Napoli is one that United would be making with PSR in mind. It could solve a lot of financial issues for the club, freeing up spending funds.
Former Napoli player Oscar Damiani told Tuttomercatoweb that he would be very confident of Garnacho being a success because of one man, manager Antonio Conte.
He said: “Garnacho is an excellent player. Napoli has good managers, when they make choices, they are always very careful.
“He would be a reinforcement who could lengthen an already competitive squad, a high-level player”.
Antonio Conte signed Scott McTominay in the summer and he has been proven right on that deal, with the Italian press raving about the midfielder in recent days.
There is every reason to believe Garnacho would be a hit if he went to Italy too.
