Alejandro Garnacho enjoys holiday in Rome after Asia tour nightmare… with Man United star’s future at the club in doubt after spat with Ruben Amorim
Alejandro Garnacho didn’t exactly have the season he will have been hoping for in 2024-25, and the Manchester United star has been quick to get away from it all in his summer off and enjoy some well-earned rest.
The forward came into the campaign under Erik ten Hag as one of the squad’s untouchables, having played a key role in their FA Cup win, and looked set to push on under the Dutchman.
However, just last month he ended the season with at least one foot out the door after failing to break into Ruben Amorim’s side, before social media proved to come back and bite him, leaving his position at Old Trafford seemingly untenable.
Things went from bad to worse even after the debilitating Europa League final defeat by Tottenham as Garnacho appeared to push a fan in the streets when approached while on post-season tour in Malaysia.
But now, with his future up in the air at Old Trafford, Garnacho and his partner Eva Garcia, as well as their young child, has sought some respite in the Italian capital on a short holiday.
Garcia posted a number of pictures on her Instagram account of herself in Rome, as well as posing for selfies with Garnacho and a lovely picture of all three members of their young family.

However the Argentina international will know that he faces a crucial summer in terms of his immediate future, but perhaps also his next 10 years in the game, with the wrong move – should he leave – potentially seeing him become another in the long line of players to fade away.
He is undoubtedly one of the most promising young attackers, at least in the Premier League, and already has a Puskas Award to his name for a stunning bicycle kick against Everton, but seemingly has had issues with his temperament.
Mail Sport previously revealed Garnacho was brutally warned by Ruben Amorim that he needs to ‘pray’ he can find a new club in a dressing room spat in front of the United squad.
Tensions climaxed when Garnacho hit out at Amorim after being given less than 20 minutes off the bench in the Red Devils’ Europa League final defeat by Tottenham last month.
The youngster said in Bilbao: ‘Until we reached the final, I played every round. And I played 20 minutes today – I don’t know. I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.’
With Garnacho’s departure all but confirmed in an official club statement, potential suitors are now circling to secure the 20-year-old’s talents.
Three Premier League clubs are said to be ‘very keen’ on Garnacho, who sees remaining in the English top flight a serious option, according to Fabrizio Romano.
As for other European clubs, Bayer Leverkusen are understood to be interested, along with a host of Italian clubs.
