As previously reported by The Manchester Evening News, Garnacho is one of five players looking for new clubs this summer. Marcus Rashford, who is set to join Barcelona, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia all spent the second half of last season away from the club and are expected to depart.

Alejandro Garnacho could be on his way out of Manchester United, with several top Premier League clubs showing strong interest following a major drop in his asking price.

The only threat to Chelsea 's cunning plan would be a rival suitor nipping in ahead of them before United drop the price. Tottenham and Aston Villa are said to be keeping tabs on Garnacho's situation, although the lack of concrete action suggests that all suitors are put off by the £60m demand.
