Exiled Alejandro Garnacho spotted for the first time after being forced to train alone as his Man United exit looms
Garnacho posed for selfies with fans outside of Pure Fades in Altrincham, before hot-footing it towards his car.
After spotting the paparazzi, Garnacho — who was dressed in a black Nike T-shirt, Palm Angels shorts and white sliders — playfully covered his face before smiling as he entered his vehicle.
Garnacho — who spent his summer holidays in Japan, Spain and then Portugal — is said to be keen to stay in England, although his future may lie away from Old Trafford.
The 21-year-old is one of a number of players expected to leave United before the transfer deadline on September 1, with Ruben Amorim keen to sell him.
Garnacho is one of five United players not involved in team pre-season training, with the group aiming to find moves away from the Red Devils.
Mail Sport reported earlier this week that Garnacho had rejected an approach from Al-Nassr as he wants to remain in the Premier League.
United are believed to be holding out for more than £50million, having turned down a bid of £40m from Napoli in January.
Garnacho featured in 36 of United's 38 Premier League games last season.
However, he was regularly used as a substitute by Amorim, including in the Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May, when he got just 20 minutes of game time.
Speaking after the final, Garnacho said: 'Up until the final I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know.
'The final will influence [my decision] but the whole season, the situation of the club. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens afterwards.'

Bryan Mbeumo excited to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps at ‘biggest club' Man Utd
After seven weeks and some tense talks between the clubs, the 25-year-old finally completed his move from Brentford on Monday for £65million plus a potential £6million in add-ons. Mbeumo has signed a deal until 2030, with the option of a further season, at what he calls the 'club of my dreams' – one whose shirt he wore as a kid growing up in France. 'From the start I wanted to join this club, this massive club, and now I'm here and I'm just really happy,' the Cameroon international told club media. 'For me, it's the biggest club in the world, in England as well. I think the fans are crazy, the stadium is amazing, and I think every player wants to play here. 'I think my first top was a Manchester United top with Ronaldo behind. It's just such a big club and, yeah, I'm really happy to be here.' Mbeumo says he idolised Ronaldo and Lionel Messi growing up, as well as admiring Neymar and Eden Hazard, and joins Matheus Cunha in bolstering what has been a blunt United attack. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are now Manchester United players (Steven Paston/PA) The forward says the Brazil international will 'bring something new' to a team that he is excited to get to know better when they head to the United States for their pre-season tour on Tuesday. 'I think it's really important for me joining a new club,' Mbeumo said. 'It's important to create links as soon as possible, automatism as well with the team-mates, so in and out the pitch. 'The spirit is really important. Yeah, create a group, being involved as soon as possible, for me, it's something really important.' Turning up for his first day in style 😎 🆕 @BMbeumo19 — Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 22, 2025 Mbeumo links up with United after scoring 20 Premier League goals for Brentford under Thomas Frank, who has since moved on to Tottenham and is someone he sees similarly to new boss Ruben Amorim. 'I think they have similar values,' he said. 'He seems really close to his players and his mentality, his winning thinking every time. This is a thing that I need. 'It seems to be a really good group. I think the spirit is really important for winning and, yeah, with the gaffer I heard only good things about the team.'

How much do England women's players get paid? Lionesses' Euro 2025 prize money explained
England are once again through to the latter stages of a major international tournament but there remains a significant pay gap when it comes to what the Lionesses players are likely to earn financially this summer. England have reached a sixth consecutive major tournament semi-final - the best run of results in the team's history - and will bid to make it through to a third final in a row when they play Italy in Geneva. England won the Euros three years ago when they defeated Germany at Wembley and the Lionesses followed their first major honour by reaching the final of the Women's World Cup the next year. Before the start of Euro 2025, Uefa confirmed record prize money of €41m (£34m) for the 16-team tournament. It represents an increase of 156 per cent on the prize money offered at Euro 2022, when it stood at just €16m. England's federation received just over E2m when the Lionesses lifted Euro 2022 but the Euro 2025 champions can take home up to €5.1m, when performance bonuses are added on top of a base participation fee of €1.8m awarded to all teams at the tournament. The total prize money on offer at the men's Euro 2024 was €331m, with the champions Spain winning a maximum of €28.25m. The participation prize money for all 24 teams at the men's Euros was €9.25m. Player bonuses Before Euro 2025, Uefa's executive committee confirmed that participating teams would be required to distribute between 30 to 40 per cent of their prize money received at the tournament to the players for the first time, in a move that mirrored the agreement announced by Fifa ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup. The Lionesses also reached an agreement with the Football Association (FA) over performance-related bonuses before the Euros, avoiding a repeat of the row that broke out in the lead up to England reaching the World Cup final two years ago. The Guardian reported that England's players would receive a collective bonus of £1.75m if they win Euro 2025. The agreement with the FA ensures that England players can receive a performance-related bonus from their national association, on top of their guaranteed cut of the prize money distributed by Uefa. Are England's players paid per match? England's players receive what is essentially a nominal fee of around £2,000 per match and there has been equal pay between the men's and women's national teams since 2020. Most donate this to charity but they are not required to. Top England internationals playing in the Women's Super League can receive annual salaries that are in the low six figures, while top England internationals in the Premier League are able to double that in one week. It was also also reported that the England men's team who reached the Euro 2024 final last summer would have shared a bonus pot of £14m had they beaten Spain in the Berlin final Of course, many Lionesses players can boost their incomes through sponsorships and paid partnerships. However, the reliance on social media to generate additional income may put some players in a difficult position at a time when members of the squad are advocating for a social media boycott following the racist abuse suffered by Jess Carter at the tournament.
