Alejandro Garnacho has been accused of breaking the law after being banished from Manchester United first-team training.
Garnacho was dropped from United's matchday squad for the final game of last season after criticising Ruben Amorim following his substitute appearance in the Europa League final defeat to Spurs in Bilbao.
He was then told to find a new club by Amorim in a dressing down in front of the full squad and was heavily linked with a number of clubs, including Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Al Nassr and Chelsea.
However no move has materialised as of yet for Garnacho, who is in United's 'bomb squad' along with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.

According to The Sun, the quintet are only allowed to arrive and use the facilities at 5pm once Amorim and the rest of the team have left Carrington.
What has Alejandro Garnacho done?
Garnacho was filmed arriving at training in a grey Audi but the Daily Mail have reported that the Argentina international's vehicle is untaxed.
According to the UK Government's MOT registry, which can be found on the UK Government website, tax was due to be paid October 1, 2024 but was not.
Any car being used on public roads must be taxed or else it is illegal to drive and sanctions can be imposed.
When a vehicle is not being used on roads, the driver requires a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) which is declared to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
It therefore must be kept on private land such as a garage or driveway, with a fine of £30 plus one-and-half times the outstanding tax amount a potential punishment according to the RAC.
The RAC website states: "If you are caught using an untaxed vehicle on a public road without a SORN then an out of court settlement letter will be issued. The fine is £30 plus one and a half times the outstanding vehicle tax.
"If not paid, as a criminal offence. the case may be followed through the magistrates’ court where the penalty is either £1,000 or five times the amount of tax chargeable, whichever is greater."
United kick off their pre-season with a clash against rivals Leeds United in Stockholm, before taking part in the Premier League's 'Summer Series' with games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the United States.
The Red Devils finish up with a visit of Fiorentina at Old Trafford, though Garnacho is not expected to feature in any games.
