Overview

• Alejandro Garnacho was left out of Manchester United’s opener against Arsenal after months training apart under coach Rúben Amorim.
• Multiple reports say the winger has a verbal agreement with Chelsea and has told United it is “Chelsea or nothing,” rejecting interest from Bayern Munich.
• Negotiations between United and Chelsea are progressing, with United valuing the 21‑year‑old at around £50m (about €58m) and resisting lower bids.
• Chelsea are working on exits — including potential moves for Cristopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson or Tyrique George — as Enzo Maresca signals a need for a left‑side attacker.
• Fan backlash has intensified, with a Garnacho mural outside Old Trafford vandalized, and Lionel Scaloni has left him off Argentina’s pre‑list for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
