According to The i Paper after Rashford’s departure, United will now act swiftly to get rid of their other four wantaways, namely , Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia. Garnacho has attracted strong interest from Napoli and Chelsea, although the report claims that the Blues are willing to wait for United to drop their £60 million ($80m) valuation of the winger, as they consider even £50m ($67m) to be too high for the Argentine.

The Red Devils, who are looking for a new striker, could turn their attention towards Blues frontman Nicolas Jackson. With Liam Delap set to start regularly under Enzo Maresca, Jackson could consider leaving, but Chelsea are likely to hold out for £60m for the striker. United could even consider a swap deal by including Garnacho.

Other than the Blues and Napoli, sides Hotspur and are also reportedly keen on signing Garnacho this summer.

Like Rashford, the international will hope to find a new home soon so that he can start afresh somewhere away from Old Trafford with the 2025-26 campaign already fast approaching.
