Manchester United fans are outraged by the club’s rumored decision to set a £50 million asking price for young star Alejandro Garnacho, especially with interest growing from two of Europe’s top clubs.
Reports indicate that Barcelona and Juventus are closely watching Garnacho’s situation at Old Trafford and may make a bid next summer. This speculation follows Garnacho’s limited playing time this season, which contrasts sharply with his breakout year, during which he made 50 appearances and scored 10 goals. Currently, he primarily comes off the bench, raising concerns about a potential rift with manager Erik ten Hag. His recent social media posts have added to speculation about tensions between him and the club.
Many fans are in disbelief at the notion that Manchester United would let Garnacho go for just £50 million. Supporters feel that for a player of his talent and age, this valuation significantly underestimates his worth. In today’s inflated transfer market, they argue that £50 million is far too low.
Social media has been buzzing with reactions to the reported price. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) stated, “As if £50m would be enough; he’s a £75m minimum player. With his age, probably closer to £85m.” Others expressed similar sentiments, with another fan sarcastically commenting, “£50 million? What’s that for, a loan deal?” The general consensus among supporters is that Garnacho deserves a much higher valuation.
At just 20 years old, Garnacho’s potential is undeniable, even with his limited starts this season. Many fans remember his rise after joining Manchester United’s academy from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for only £420,000. Since then, he has made 96 first-team appearances and scored 19 goals, quickly becoming a fan favorite.
His contributions, especially during crucial moments last season, have not gone unnoticed. Fans believe Garnacho has the potential to develop into one of Europe’s best wingers. They argue that a low asking price risks undervaluing a player who could become a key figure for both Manchester United and the Argentina national team.
The timing of these transfer rumors adds to the uncertainty surrounding Garnacho’s future. Recently, he started in United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham and came off the bench against Porto in the Europa League. While his appearances have been sporadic, many fans hope he can regain a regular spot in the starting lineup. However, with interest from clubs like Barcelona and Juventus, some fear the club may not recognize his true worth until it’s too late.
As Manchester United prepares to face Aston Villa in their next Premier League match, all eyes will be on Garnacho. Will he get a starting nod, or will he remain on the bench? The speculation about his future continues to grow, and fans are increasingly vocal about wanting to keep their rising star. The pressing question remains: will United appreciate Garnacho’s true value, or will they risk losing a future superstar for what many believe is far too low a price?
