Garnacho, 20, was left fuming after being benched in Bilbao.
He later angered his team-mates after giving an interview where he described United's season as 's**t'.
Amorim responded to Garnacho's comments by telling him to find a new club in front of his team-mates at United's Carrington training ground.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Garnacho may get a Saudi escape route, with Cristiano Ronaldo's side Al-Nassr interested.
But reports around Garnacho's asking price have since boosted from around £50million to a staggering £70million.
It is understood that five teams are monitoring Garnacho's situation, including Premier League duo Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Garnacho's relationship with Amorim fell apart after a dressing room spat boiled over in front of team-mates.
Amorim reportedly told Garnacho he needs to "pray he can find a new club."
United have since signed Matheus Cunha and are eyeing up Swede goal machine Viktor Gyokeres.
Garnacho appeared in 36 Premier League games last season, contributing six goals and three assists.

Garnacho is viewed as one of United's sellable assets this summer given his age, while he also still has three years remaining on his contract.
Amorim wants a major squad overhaul, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho also in line to follow Garnacho out the exit door.

Former Sunderland manager Peter Reid - who twice won the Black Cats promotion into the Premier League - has been looking back on taking charge of the club 30 years ex-Everton and Manchester City player took the reigns in March 1995 with Sunderland battling relegation in the second tier, but with seven games of the season remaining, Reid oversaw just the one loss and managed to keep them to BBC Radio Newcastle in a special episode, Reid recalled: "They were great games, the Sheffield United one was a very important one and I always thank Craig [Russell] for coming on as a sub and getting the winner," Reid said."To be fair, the crowd played their part and obviously the players, the players were magnificent. I think we went to Derby and beat them as well which was a fantastic result."After the Sheffield United game, I remember going to the chairman and saying 'listen I need to get something for the players so give me £500 to take them out' and the bill came to about £1200 so I had to find £700 from somewhere."So I was fining the lads for mis-passing the ball in training and everything and once I got the £700 I told them 'it's over now lads' and I told them the story and they took it all in the spirit that it was meant."
