Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
Clubs like Napoli and Chelsea have been linked with the 20-year-old Argentine international but a report from TBR Football claims that the player is now expected to remain at Old Trafford. The development will be a boost for Manchester United who are already lacking in depth and quality in the final third.
The Argentine winger has established himself as an important first-team player for the club and he will help them in the remaining months of the season. Losing him midway through the season would have been a mistake for the club.
Manchester United have been quite mediocre this season and they could easily miss out on Champions League qualification for the next season. Selling a key player would have weakened them further.
Meanwhile, Chelsea could use more depth in the attack and they will be disappointed to miss out on the South American prodigy. He could have been an upgrade on Mykhailo Mudryk.
Garnacho is an elite talent
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old is clearly a player in demand and it will be interesting to see if his suitors are willing to come back for him at the end of the season.
He is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Garnacho has shown that he has the qualities to develop into a world-class player with coaching and experience. He could be a superb acquisition for clubs like Napoli and Chelsea in the long term.
Similarly, Manchester United could help him develop into a top-class player as well. They have a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the 20-year-old to stay at the club for the long term. There is no doubt that they are one of the biggest clubs in the world but they need to improve their performances on the pitch and compete for major trophies if they want to hold on to elite young talents.
Manchester United have brought in a new manager and they must back Ruben Amorim with quality signings over the next few months if they want to compete with the elite clubs. It could be the key to keeping their best players as well.
