Garnacho spit out another pie, revealing that Manchester United is ready to sell it for 40 million! Priority will be given to Napoli strikers

The botched Onana covered up the fault of another underperforming Manchester United player. The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw by Lyon, and the goalkeeper's mistake was certainly to blame, but an extra striker would still be enough to secure the win, and Garnacho wasted a good chance to face the goalkeeper directly.

Captain Bruno Fernandes instigated the attack with a "flower insert" in front of the penalty area, Patrick Dolgu's precise cross from the left was unguarded at the back post and directly faced the goal, but his volley was too square, and the opposing goalkeeper was not Onana, so he managed to lift the ball off the crossbar.

In this game, Garnacho continued the trend that fans have been familiar with this season, he was quite positive, but the decisions always failed, and spitting was just one of them. In another counter-attack, United had a numerical advantage, but the 20-year-old Argentine winger lost possession and the attack and defence were transformed.

Ruben Amorim made his first change, bringing on Zirkze, leaving Garnacho to continue to give him a chance. But before the end of the game, the United boss couldn't take it anymore and finally replaced him, and Kobe Mayno came on and changed the game and almost brought the victory.

According to the Daily Mail, Amorim recognises Garnacho's positivity, but has also lost patience with his immature style on and off the pitch. Now, United will be happy to sell the Atletico Madrid winger if they receive a reasonable offer in the summer window. Moreover, Manchester United's psychological price has been reduced, from £60 million to £40 million.

Garnacho himself needs to consider his prospects at Manchester United, whose reputation has been tarnished by his repeated wasted chances this season. His inconsistent performances at club cost Argentina coach Scaloni the call-up to the international break in March, with Garnacho looking to improve his performances and compete at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has backed Garnacho's departure, arguing that the talented player's style does not suit Amorim's 343 system.

"If it weren't for Amorim and a manager who played as a traditional winger, I wouldn't support the sale of Garnacho, he should stay." Ferdinand explained, "I like him, he's not at his best at the moment, but I admire him, he has the confidence and the desire to be the best. He's going through the inevitable stage of developing as a young player and the manager's style of play isn't for him. If I were him, or his agent, I would say goodbye. He should look for an environment where he can reach his full potential and I would have left United if I were him because the current system is only going to slow down.'

Italian media said that Napoli is still a favorite for Garnacho, and Conte wants to bring him in to replace Kvaratskhelia. It is reported that the Serie A club is preparing an offer. The Daily Mail said that because Manchester United is interested in Napoli's Osimhen, the two sides may reach a related party deal. The Red Devils sold Garnacho at a reduced price in exchange for Osimhen's right of first refusal and discount.

However, the jury is still out on whether United will eventually bring in Osimhen, with Liam Delap of Ipswich Town who are in the Premier League's quasi-relegation squad being the most rumoured option lately. Once the team is relegated, Delap Jr., who has scored 12 Premier League goals this season, will have a liquidated penalty of 30 million pounds, which is more cost-effective. Manchester United are also interested in bringing in Wolves' Brazilian striker Cunha, who has scored 13 goals in the Premier League.

Given that Cunha also has contenders such as Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, United also have another Plan B player, said to be Brentford's 25-year-old striker Brian Mbeumo, who has scored 16 goals this season for a transfer fee estimated at £50 million.
