Manchester United’s manager Ruben Amorim has indicated that he might be willing to welcome back Alejandro Garnacho and Antony into the squad, despite recent tensions and loan spells. Both players have experienced challenges within the team, with Garnacho reportedly clashing with the Portuguese coach late in the season, and Antony sent on loan to Real Betis during the January transfer window.
While Manchester United intends to transfer both players during the summer window, the moves have not materialized as smoothly as hoped. Amorim’s recent comments suggest that unless the club’s valuation for these players is met, they will remain part of the Manchester United squad moving forward.
“Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team, and other players clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams. We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide. If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team, because they are our players,” said Amorim.
The manager also acknowledged that the club’s leadership, including Omar and Jason, have set specific figures for the players’ transfers.
“I know for a fact, these people, Omar, Jason, and the club, have a number for these players. If they don’t reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that. I understand that clubs are waiting for the last minute, but they can have a surprise. I’m ready to receive the players; they have more competition, more competition,” he added.
Amorim appears to view the potential return of Antony and Garnacho as an opportunity to strengthen squad competition rather than a setback. He emphasized the importance of healthy rivalry within the team on the path to World Cup contention and club success.
“If you want to play in the World Cup next year, you need to play. So I’m really happy with that because I have more options. If they have to fight each other to play, for me, it’s perfect. In any team, if you see the best teams in the world, you feel the bond between all the players, and that is really important,” said Amorim.
The manager also reflected on the prestige and responsibility that comes with representing Manchester United, adding the need for a unified and focused squad atmosphere.
“Then I think we need to remind ourselves how special it is to be at Manchester United. That is my feeling, it’s the best club in the world, and it should be for everyone on the pitch and everyone at the club, and I really like that feeling. I really like to be in a group that is healthy.”
Interest from Bayern Munich and Other Clubs in Alejandro Garnacho’s Future
As Manchester United navigates the futures of Antony and Garnacho, interest in the young Argentine forward Garnacho is reportedly growing. ESPN has highlighted Bayern Munich’s pursuit of the 21-year-old, who is seen as a potential offensive reinforcement ahead of their new season.
Garnacho had an inconsistent but promising campaign at Old Trafford, contributing 11 goals and 10 assists across 58 matches. Despite Bayern’s readiness to offer him a place in Bundesliga, Garnacho reportedly prefers to continue his career in the Premier League. His current contract with Manchester United runs until 2028.
Manchester United is open to negotiating a transfer if a satisfactory fee is proposed, with Aston Villa also expressing interest. The club appears willing to balance financial return against the player’s development and preferences.
