Manchester United have another priority sale and it could earn them £70m
And then there were four. Through just a couple of taps of his smart phone, Alejandro Garnacho has joined Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony on Manchester United's list of priority sales.
Garnacho already knew United are open to selling him this summer at the right price, but the club should now be looking to get him off the books in the same way they want to offload the aforementioned trio.
Not for the first time in his United career, Garnacho's social media antics have done more harm than good. His decision to upload an image on his Instagram page of him wearing an Aston Villa shirt donning 'Rashford 9' on the back strengthens United's case to get rid of him.
The Manchester Evening News reported last month the 20-year-old will be free to leave the club this summer if they receive an acceptable offer for him. The decision was made just days after he was left out of the starting XI for the Europa League final in Bilbao.
He was left out of the matchday squad for the Premier League finale against Aston Villa, but was included in the squad that travelled to Malaysia and Hong Kong for the post-season tour. He featured in both games, making one start and one substitute appearance.
Head coach Ruben Amorim said of Garnacho during the tour: "It's not a surprise [Garnacho is in the squad]. He's a player of Manchester United, all the players are here.
"Some players are injured and it was better not to fly here to play these two games so it's a normal situation. It's okay."
The fact Garnacho almost certainly made his farewell appearance for United in a meaningless 3-1 win over Hong Kong is actually quite sad. He has been one of the biggest success stories of United's academy in recent years and it was not all that long ago
