Garnacho's social media post will not come without fallout
- Published
Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford are kindred spirits in a way.
Both are hugely talented players who have been deemed surplus to requirements by Amorim and the belief is the initial post – and response – are a way of offering public support in a period of time where they are both looking for other clubs.
Chelsea are admirers of Garnacho but it remains to be seen whether their pursuit of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund closes off that avenue out of Old Trafford.
There are rumours of the 20-year-old returning to his former club Atletico Madrid this summer and there will be other suitors.
However, Alejandro Garnacho's post showing his support for team-mate Rashford by posing in his Aston Villa shirt on holiday - which he posted on his social media - does not come without fall-out.
Firstly, what effect will it have on the fee United can command for a player who has made such a provocative gesture?
Secondly, it hardly seems plausible Amorim will bring Garnacho back into the first-team fold when his squad return to training in July, let alone consider him for the three-match trip to the United States at the end of the month.
