Manchester United fans have expressed their surprise at the exclusion of star forward Alejandro Garnacho from the squad for their Premier League finale. The Red Devils are set to lock horns with Aston Villa at Old Trafford in their final game of the 2024-25 season in the hopes of ending the season with a win.
Garnacho made headlines in the aftermath of the UEFA Europa League final on Wednesday after he criticized coach Ruben Amorim for his selection in the game. The 20-year-old cast doubts over his future at the club by insinuating that the summer would be a time for him to think about his future.

Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho has been offered to Premier League rivals Arsenal for a summer move, as per reports. The 20-year-old winger is set to leave Old Trafford after coach Ruben Amorim informed him that he no longer features in his plans.
