Alejandro Garnacho missed a chance against Southampton, which infuriated RASMUS HOJLUND.
.
.
Twenty minutes into United’s Premier League match against the Saints, Hojlund burst into the box.
He then cut the ball back to Garnacho, but the unproductive winger missed his attempt.
Replays captured Hojlund’s furious outburst as he booted the post and lost it on Garnacho.
When Southampton took the lead shortly after, the blunder appeared to be costly.
Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick, however, saved Manchester United’s blushes.
Despite rumors that he would leave in the January transfer window, Garnacho was given his eleventh start of the Premier League season at Old Trafford.
This season, Napoli has been keeping tabs on the Argentine’s status because they are looking for a winger.
The Mirror claims that United is in negotiations with Napoli but turned down an offer of £40 million for the Argentine.
In a £70 million deal, the Serie A leaders are about to lose Khvicha Kvaratskelia to PSG.
And their top aim to replace Kvaratskelia is Garnacho, who is rumored to be prepared to quit Old Trafford.
However, it is said that United is retaining their homegrown star for £60 million.
Since his debut in 2022, Garnacho, who rose through United’s levels, has scored 23 goals in 116 games.
However, he has been at odds with manager Ruben Amorim this season, who benched the forward for the December Manchester derby.
Garnacho did, however, play the entire ninety minutes against Southampton.
