Man Utd star tipped for January exit as Ruben Amorim begins restructuring

Manchester United have begun a new era under the leadership of Ruben Amorim and some players are expected to leave while new arrivals are also expected.

While some players will be allowed to leave the club during the summer transfer window, the January transfer window could see one of United’s players head to Atletico Madrid, according to reports in Spanish media.

Spanish outlet Fichajes have reported that La Liga side Atletico Madrid are interested in bringing Red Devils winger Alejandro Garnacho back to the club.

Garnacho spent a portion of his youth career in the academy setup with Rojiblancos before switching to United’s academy as a teenager.

Despite putting in impressive performances since making his first team debut for United, the arrival of Amorim has seen some changes in recent weeks.

The 20-year-old winger has seen some positional tweak , now most commonly used as one of the two no.10s behind the main striker, and as a result has seen his status as a nailed-on starter somewhat tested.

Surprisingly, Garnacho was left out of the squad entirely, along with Marcus Rashford, for the recent Manchester derby.

Fichajes reporst that Atletico boss Diego Simeone sees his fellow countryman as a promising boost to a potential Argentinian trio in attack along with his son Giuliano Simeone and Julian Alvarez, especially with Antoine Griezmann’s contract situation on the horizon.
