Alejandro Garnacho hints at Man United exit as he ‘secretly puts his £3.85m mansion up for sale’

Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly put his £3.85m mansion on the market in a major hint that he could be heading for the Manchester United exit door this summer.

The United winger, 20, only bought the seven-bedroom property in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, last April, but 12 months on, he has ‘discreetly’ put it up for sale, according to The Sun.

Garnacho paid £3.804m for the mansion in 2024 and moved in with his partner Eva and their son Enzo. He is now marketing it at £3.85m. 

The listing went live on March 28, and the agent being used to sell the property has reportedly been asked to proceed by only posting one online photo so that the mansion is ‘exclusively and discreetly marketed’.

News of Garnacho putting his house up for sale may set alarm bells ringing that he could be eyeing a move away from United in the near future.

Tottenham were interested in the winter, as Mail Sport reported, while Chelsea and Napoli also appeared keen.

Garnacho arrived at Old Trafford in 2020 as a 16-year-old and quickly emerged as one of the academy’s brightest prospects. 

However, he has been unable to kick on in recent seasons, and has struggled to adapt to Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation after the Portuguese boss replaced Erik ten Hag in November.

The Argentinian forward was linked with a transfer away from United in January, with Serie A giants Napoli taking particular interest in his situation.

He ended up staying in England, and has been praised by Amorim for trying to develop his game from being an out-and-out winger to operating as one of the two No10s behind the lone striker in United’s system.

But Garnacho had another frustrating evening as United slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

He was guilty of wasting a number of promising attacking positions, with some fans complaining about his lack of end product on social media, and Amorim admitted in his press conference on Friday that Garnacho is ‘not in a great moment’.

‘I think he is doing the right things,’ Amorim said of Garnacho. ‘Like any player in our team, has to choose better, especially in the last third. 

‘We have to improve, all the players have to improve. Maybe Bruno [Fernandes] is the one who can do something — an assist or scoring goals — very easily.

‘So we have to improve as a team to help Garnacho, but Garnacho is improving the way he defends, the way he runs, so he’s working hard. He needs to score more goals and assists, that is clear, but so do the other guys. 

‘I see him as a young kid who wants to improve, is improving but is not in the great moment in that department, like the other guys on the team.’

United have eight league games remaining this season, while they are still in the mix for silverware after reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.

Garnacho could now be entering his final weeks at the club, with the young forward expected to make a big decision on his future at the end of the season.
