European giants ‘identify’ Alejandro Garnacho as main January transfer target

The Man United star could be on the move..

Garnacho was not included in the Manchester United squad for the derby versus Man City on Sunday, with Ruben Amorim straight to the point on why:

"When people in the club are losing their jobs, we have to push our standards really high.

"Next week, next game, new life, they are fighting for their places but for me it’s important, the performance in training, the performance in game, the way you dress, the way you eat, the way you engage with teammates, the way you push your teammates, everything is important when we want to change a lot of things.

"They have to fight for a place in the team and today the team proved we can leave anyone out of the squad and manage to win if you play together."

Now, it has been reported by Spanish outlet Fichajes that Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid would be interested in a January swoop.

It remains to be seen if Garnacho would be interested in the move.
