Amorim's 3-4-2-1 formation at United, requiring central attackers, seems to have impacted Garnacho's performance

Manchester United young star, Alejandro Garnacho, is reportedly seeking an exit from Old Trafford this summer. This news comes as a surprise to many sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts who have been closely following the player's journey.

Garnacho was notably absent from the squad that travelled for the pre-season tour of the United States. This absence has sparked speculation about his future with Manchester United. Manager Ruben Amorim recently addressed these rumours in a conversation with reporters.

Despite confirming Garnacho's intent to leave, Amorim praised him as a "talented boy". However, it seems that talent alone has not been enough to smooth over their strained working relationship. The 21-year-old forward publicly criticised Amorim for not starting him in the UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

Ruben Amorim, Manchester United manager, said:

“Garnacho is a really talented boy. But sometimes things don’t work out. You cannot explain specifically what it is. It’s clear he wants a different thing with a different leadership.

“They want new challenges. The market is open. I’m just working with the players that I think are going to stay.”

Tactical changes and performance issues

Under Amorim's leadership, Manchester United has adopted a 3-4-2-1 formation which requires attackers to play centrally. This tactical change appears to have affected Garnacho’s performance negatively since he is traditionally a winger who thrives on starting wide before taking on defenders and cutting inside.

Former manager Erik ten Hag had backed Garnacho to shine at senior level after helping him break through ranks. Ten Hag described him as an explosive winger with potential superstar status in future football circles.

However, despite his undeniable talent and potential, there are areas where Garnacho needs improvement - particularly discipline within his game strategy.

Potential transfer opportunities

Manchester United seems ready to part ways permanently with this Argentina international player. They currently value him at around £70 million - an impressive figure reflecting his potential worth on-field.

Chelsea is expected to make a move for Alejandro Garnacho during this transfer window period. There are hopes that Manchester United will lower their asking price in the final days of the summer window, making this a potential transfer to watch for sports fans and betting enthusiasts alike.

Alejandro Garnacho's journey at Manchester United has been marked by highs and lows. His talent is undeniable, but his future success will depend on his ability to adapt to different tactical formations and maintain discipline in his game. As he seeks new horizons, it will be interesting to see where he lands next and how this move will shape his career trajectory.
