- Garnacho drives untaxed car
- Due to be paid in October last year
- Argentinian linked with United exit
Garnacho has been caught by the Daily Mail driving a car that is untaxed and therefore not legal to drive. The Argentina international is thought to have arrived at Carrington after head coach Ruben Amorim’s departure, with his future seemingly lying away from Old Trafford.
The United Kingdom government’s MOT registry shows tax has not been paid on the car having been due all the way back in October. The punishment for such breaches is a possible out of court settlement alongside a fine of £30 with one-and-a-half times the outstanding tax amount. If Garnacho does nothing, the situation could escalate to the point of a criminal offence at the magistrates’ court, with the penalty either £1,000 or five times the amount of tax chargeable – whichever is the higher fee.
Alongside fellow outcasts Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia, Garnacho has been told he can only use United’s training facilities after 5pm, once the rest of the playing squad has departed. There hasn’t been much movement in securing outgoing transfers for that quintet, though Garnacho is said to be attracting interest from Premier League sides like Chelsea.
Garnacho will hopefully settle any dispute with the UK authorities over his untaxed car soon, but where his future lies remains to be seen. He has had a chaotic summer which has included taking shots at United over their treatment of team-mate Rashford.
