Manchester United fans have made up their mind on selling Alejandro Garnacho after seeing his performance against FCSB on Thursday night.
United picked up a 2-0 Europa League win in Bucharest courtesy of goals from Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo.
The result means Ruben Amorim's side are the only unbeaten side in the competition this year and finished third in the overall table, meaning they will avoid a two-legged play-off.

In the round of 16, United will face one of Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar, and FC Midtjylland.
Mainoo started as one of the number tens in the system but Amorim changed things up at half-time, sending on both Amad Diallo and Garnacho in place of Tyrell Malacia and Toby Collyer.
Garnacho created the second goal with a cut-back for Mainoo and was a constant threat, completing five dribbles.

He has been heavily linked with a move to both Napoli and Chelsea in recent times but United fans have now decided what the club should do with the Argentina international.
One supporter on X said: "If we sold Garnacho it could be one of the clubs biggest ever regrets. Looked lively in his last 3 games, starting to adapt to the system, looking to pass a lot more. There's a lot more to come."
A second agreed, writing: "He must stay. Garnacho is quite clearly the most talented winger we have on our books, he’s been fantastic."
A third added: "I told you from the start he’s staying. Be excited."

A fourth commented: "Two things to take from tonight. Mainoo must stay in the 10. Garnacho must stay at the club."
A final user opined: "The last couple of games Garnacho has played noticeably better, back to his best. He looks hungry, much better decision making for the team & high energy. There is absolutely no question that we have to keep him."
Having sold Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli identified Garnacho as a top target, though sporting director Giovanni Manna has said the club "certainly will not pay prices that are outside the market value.”

Tuttosport, via Football Italia, say the club are not prepared to go higher than €50 million plus €5 million in add-ons for Garnacho.
The sale of the 20-year-old would be pure profit on the balance sheet due to him being homegrown but an exit for Garnacho looks unlikely as we head towards the transfer deadline on Monday.
