Ruben Amorim Drops Hint on Napoli Target Future at Old Trafford | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim offered his verdict on Alejandro Garnacho’s future amid intense links with Napoli. The Portuguese manager talked to the press after last night’s morale-boosting 1-0 win against fellow Premier League mid-table rivals Fulham.

Garnacho was in the starting line-up at Craven Cottage, yet his performance flattered to deceive. The Argentine has stuttered under Amorim, leading to growing speculation he could leave Old Trafford in late January. Napoli are among his potential suitors.

Despite accelerating talks to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet Karim Adeyemi after sanctioning Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. However, they’ve never given up hope of bringing Garnacho to Stadio Diego Maradona.

Amorim may have just handed Napoli a boost, though he opted to stay cryptic when asked about Garnacho’s prospects in Manchester.

“He is improving in every department, how he recovers, understanding the game when he defends,” Amorim said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. “I am trying to find the best position for him. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Napoli defied Kvaratskhelia’s departure to beat bitter rivals Juventus 2-1 on Saturday and retain a three-point distance at Serie A’s table summit. However, there’s no doubt Antonio Conte’s side will add a new winger by the end of the winter transfer window.

With only a few days left before the curtain drops, Napoli must put the pedal to the metal. At 20, Garnacho would be a massive coup for the Partenopei, especially if they can land him on favorable terms.
