Mail Sport reported on Thursday that Chelsea are preparing a formal offer for Garnacho, after making opening enquiries last week, but the Argentine winger was handed a start by Amorim.

Ruben Amorim refused to rule out the possibility of Alejandro Garnacho leaving Manchester United before the transfer deadline on Thursday after his team's 2-1 victory over Rangers.

Garnacho has been linked with a move away from United this month after struggling to fit into Amroim's system, with both Napoli and Chelsea interested in the 20-year-old.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has been linked with a shock move to Saudi Arabia with Al Ahli and Al Nassr ready to break the world record to land him.

Ruben Amorim admitted "anything can happen" when asked about the future of Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho's future.

Rio Ferdinand believes it would be “best for everybody” if Marcus Rashford leaves Manchester United – and would not be surprised if Alejandro Garnacho also leaves in the January transfer window.
