Alejandro Garnacho has hinted at which club he would like to join if he leaves Manchester United this summer.
The 21-year-old forward has been a move linked with away from Old Trafford since reports emerged of a falling out with Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim following their defeat against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final last season.
Garnacho is one of a number of players who could leave United before the end of the summer transfer window on Monday, 1st September.
Jadon Sancho and Antony have both been linked with a move away, while Marcus Rashford has already joined Barcelona on a season-long loan.

Garnacho is reportedly being targeted by United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea, and the Argentinian star has given a big hint that is keen to join The Blues.
It came after Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea were eager to sign Garnacho and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons in a post on Instagram.
Simons enjoyed an excellent 2025/2025 season with Leipzig, scoring 11 goals and producing eight assists in 33 appearances.

“Chelsea plan moves for both Garnacho and Xavi Simons, separate topics,” read Romano's post.
"Negotiations are advanced for Xavi as priority with RB Leipzig aware of player's clear desire to join Chelsea.
“Garnacho remains on the list for later in August, there are no talks now... but Chelsea keep his name on list.
“Xavi Simons and Garnacho are both targets if players upfront leave, not alternative but both high on the list.

“João Felix left then Guiu, Broja, Nkunku, Jackson and Sterling can also follow, key to get new signings.”
In a shocking twist, Garnacho made his thoughts clear by liking the post.
Chelsea came fourth in the Premier League table last term, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League in the process, while United are hoping to bounce back after finishing in 15th place.
Garnacho scored 11 goals and registered ten assists in 58 appearances across all competitions last season.
