Alejandro Garnacho is dropped ENTIRELY from Man United's squad for final game of the season - after his partner hinted it would be his 'last match' - following social media spat with Ruben Amorim
Alejandro Garnacho has been omitted from Manchester United 's squad for their final game of the season - just hours after his partner appeared to confirm his departure with a cryptic two-word message to fans on social media. The 20-year-old is set to depart Old Trafford this summer after being told he can leave by Ruben Amorim. The United boss is understood to have given Garnacho the news during a meeting at the club's Carrington training base on Saturday. The club have declined to comment. Garnacho's partner, Eva Garcia, has now added fuel to the fire ahead of the Red Devils' final match of the season against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. She posted a picture of a baby-sized United kit alongside the words 'last match', accompanied by a tearful emoji and a heart on Instagram. Garnacho appears to have played his last match for the club after he was left completely out of the squad for the visit of Unai Emery 's side It is unclear if Garnacho will be in the squad for the final game of the season against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday or United's post-season tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong. The winger was unhappy to be left on the bench for more than 70 minutes of United's defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday night, and said he will weigh up his options. Garnacho's brother Roberto also accused Amorim of 'throwing him under the bus' in Bilbao. 'Obviously it's hard for everyone,' said Garnacho at the San Mames. 'Our season was s***. We didn't beat anyone in the league. We lacked a lot of things. When you don't score goals, you always need more. 'Until we reached the final, I played every round. And I played 20 minutes today – I don't know. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.' Garnacho's relationship with Amorim has remained tense, despite the winger forcing his way back into the side after being dropped for the Manchester derby in December - a punishment for showing dissent towards the head coach during a Europa League clash in Plzen just three days earlier. United turned down a January bid from Napoli for Garnacho, but are now prepared to listen to offers in the region of £60–70 million. A sale would represent pure profit under financial fair play rules, as the winger came through the club's academy system. On Saturday, Amorim was asked about the futures of Garnacho and captain Bruno Fernandes – who is considering a huge offer from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia – ahead of the Villa game. He replied: 'I will speak with my players but the focus is the last game. I don't know what is going to happen. We have a plan. We were prepared for both situations, with Champions League and without. We have an idea type of squad we want, but we still have the last game. We have time to address all these situations. 'We have this game against Villa and we need to focus on that. It is not over. We want to finish in a good way in front of our supporters. Then, after, we will assess the squad. We know what we want to do. We will deal with that when the season is finished.' His agent brother also hit out at Amorim's team selection for the match in a post on social media. Reacting to his exclusion and Manchester United's defeat, Garnacho's brother and agent Roberto caused a stir by taking to social media to laugh at Amorim's decision to bench him. 'Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus. [Wow] hahahahahaha,' he wrote on Instagram.

Alejandro Garnacho 'told to find a new club by Ruben Amorim' - after star aimed dig at Man United boss over Europa League final axe
Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly been told to find a new club by Ruben Amorim, just days after the star and his brother appeared to aim digs at the Man United boss. According to the Athletic, Amorim had addressed Man United's squad at their Carrington training ground on Sunday. Amorim reportedly stressed he will remain in charge of the club next season, despite suggesting he would leave if the hierachy decide he is not the right man for the job. The Man United boss then reportedly told Garnacho to look for a new club this summer. Garnacho had been outspoken after the Europa League final, with the Argentine having been brought on for only the final 20 minutes of Man United's 1-0 defeat by Tottenham. 'I played every round to help the team reach the final, and today I only got 20 minutes,' the Argentine told the media, as per AlbicelesteTalk. Garnacho had earlier hinted that he too disagreed with Amorim's decision just hours before the final. The forward had posted a memory of him scoring in the Red Devils' FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City last season, back when Erik ten Hag was manager. His agent brother also hit out at Amorim's team selection for the match in a post on social media. Reacting to his exclusion and Manchester United's defeat, Garnacho's brother and agent Roberto caused a stir by taking to social media to laugh at Amorim's decision to bench him. 'Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus. Wowe hahahahahaha,' he wrote on Instagram. United rejected an offer from Napoli for the Argentina winger in January but could listen to offers of between £60m and £70m this summer. Amorim had been reluctant to discuss the future of Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes publicly ahead of their final match of the season at home to Aston Villa on Sunday. Mail Sport revealed Fernandes has been set a deadline of next week to decide whether he wants to leave for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in a £200m deal. 'I will speak with my players but the focus is the last game,' Amorim said. 'I don't know what is going to happen. We have a plan. We were prepared for both situations, with Champions League and without. We have an idea type of squad we want, but we still have the last game. We have time to address all these situations. 'We have this game against Villa and we need to focus on that. It is not over. We want to finish in a good way in front of our supporters.. Then, after, we will assess the squad. We know what we want to do. We will deal with that when the season is finished.'

Alejandro Garnacho 'increasingly likely to leave Man United in the summer with player unhappy at bit-part role in Europa League final'
Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly moved closer to the Manchester United exit door after being used as a substitute in Wednesday's Europa League final. The Red Devils missed the chance to end what has been a dire campaign on a high as they were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham in Bilbao. Garnacho had started both legs of quarter-finals and semi-finals but was named on the bench for what was his side's biggest game of the season. He was brought on in the 71st minute after Brennan Johnson had given Spurs the lead shortly before half-time but failed to help his side find an equaliser. And ESPN claim that the Argentine and his representatives are far from happy with his limited involvement and how it was handled. The report adds that he is now increasingly likely to leave the club in the summer and has had offers from other clubs already. Napoli made an approach for the winger in January and it is hard to see United resisting if a club is to meet their valuation in the region of £60m-70m. Speaking after Wednesday's game, Garnacho said: 'Up until the final I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know,' said Garnacho. '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.' Hi brother Roberto Garnacho also took to Instagram to express his frustration, saying he had been 'thrown under the bus'. 'Working as no-one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus,' wrote Roberto Garnacho. Asked if he should have brought Garnacho on earlier, Amorim said: 'How many times have we had this conversation, and it was the opposite? Some players come in, like Mason Mount, against Bilbao and changed the game.
