David Ornstein: Premier League club in talks to sign Man Utd star in January | OneFootball

Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho is on the radar of Chelsea and enquiries have been made over a potential transfer, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein.

The Argentina international could be sold as the Red Devils look to raise cash and comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules of the Premier League, and the Blues are keen.

Garnacho fits the profile of the type of winger Chelsea are looking for, but conversations remain at an early stage at the moment.

Napoli are also keen on the 20-year-old Man United star, but remaining in the Premier League could be more appealing to him.

However, whether the Old Trafford club are willing to strengthen one of their major domestic rivals remains to be seen.

Chelsea have the funds to land Garnacho, and Man United could be open to doing business for the right price as long as it helps them to balance the books and remain in compliance with the financial rules.

The Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has made it clear that he is ready to do without the South American, and it will not surprise many at the club if the player leaves before the end of the January transfer window.

Garnacho has not covered himself in glory since the Portuguese arrived, getting dropped from the matchday squad against Manchester City in December due to disciplinary issues, and an exit could now be on the cards.

Man United are ready to overhaul their squad going forward after several years of underwhelming campaigns, and selling players who were earlier considered untouchable has not been ruled out.

Garnacho is not the only player who could leave the Old Trafford club this month, with Marcus Rashford also linked with a potential exit, and it is unknown whether there are plans to bring in immediate replacements.
