FACT CHECK: Are Napoli president's recent statements about signing Man United's Alejandro Garnacho true?

The Argentine has reportedly been put on sale by the Red Devils.

Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United is up in the air as several reports suggest that the forward is likely to leave the club before the end of the summer window.

It is also understood that he is not in the plans of head coach Ruben Amorim for the upcoming campaign. Moreover the winger has reportedly been told to look for a club.

Meanwhile, the 21-year-old has attracted interest from several clubs. But it remains to be seen where his future lies. The forward doesn’t have enough time on the clock in regards to the current window.

Other reports have stated that Napoli were among the clubs interested in signing Garnacho. The club’s president also released a statement expressing their interest, where he said:

“Yes we want Garnacho, he’s at Manchester United. We take him from United and he becomes twice the player.”

However, Napoli president De Laurentiis clarified that he never issued such a statement and has dismissed rumours of a possible pursuit. They have also confirmed that they are not looking to sign the attacker as they have other objectives in the summer window.

Earlier, the Serie A club have done some business with the Premier League club when they signed Scott McTominay. But with the recent report linking them with Garnacho, they made it clear they have no intention of bringing the star to Italy.

Meanwhile, Garnacho will look for a new club after the player’s relationship with the manager deteriorated. He had blasted the manager in an interview with the media following their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final.

On the other hand, United have so far secured the signing of Matheus Cunha and are currently working to finalise the acquisition of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad has returned to training as the club are now preparing for their pre-season tour to Asia.
