Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho has been told to find a new club by head coach Ruben Amorim, David Ornstein has reported.
The relationship between Garnacho and the Man Utd boss has been strained for months yet reached a breaking point in midweek following the Europa League final.
Unhappy at not starting the game, the Argentine winger’s brother took to Instagram to slam the Portuguese, who had openly criticised his attacker.
Now Amorim has told Garnacho to leave Old Trafford during a meeting at the club’s Carrington training ground on Saturday, The Athletic reports.
This is not the first time that the pair have had a very public falling out. Back in December, the winger was left out of the squad for the Manchester derby along with Marcus Rashford.
Garnacho changed his attitude sufficiently enough to be welcomed back into the fold, despite being linked heavily with both Napoli and Chelsea during January.
Now, though, it appears the end of the road for the former Atletico Madrid youngster, who has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) €60.7 million.
Garnacho’s war of words with Amorim
United are likely to be forced to make sales due to the club’s financial position, and with Garnacho a ‘pure profit’ player, he is an attractive player to sell.
This is particularly the case after the Europa League final.
Speaking after the game, Garnacho admitted he would consider his future after being dropped.
The match has an impact but the season itself was crap and the situation at the club…

“Before the final, I played every match, I helped the team,” Garnacho told the media. “Today, playing 20 minutes…
“Can it influence my future? The match has an impact but the season itself was crap and the situation at the club…
“I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.”
Amorim offered a sharp reply, stating: “It’s easy to say that now. Who missed a clear chance in the first half of the semi-final? Garnacho. That’s football.”
Robert Garnacho then inflamed the situation further via his Instagram stories as he posted: “Working like no one else, helping in every game, scoring two goals in the last two finals, only to be on the pitch for 19 minutes and get thrown under a bus. Wow!”
