Manchester United’s transfer window has taken a surprising twist, as winger Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly rejected a lucrative offer from Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian side led by Cristiano Ronaldo, opting instead to stay in Europe, specifically the Premier League.
Garnacho is heading out of the club this summer after manager Ruben Amorim made it clear that the young winger is not a part of his future plans at Old Trafford.
The Argentine star is looking for a new club and interest has increased from Saudi Arabia but the player is reportedly not keen on a move to the Middle East.
He wants to continue his career at the top level and play in one of the top leagues in the world, particularly the Premier League.

“Cristiano Ronaldo’s team had initial discussions to be part of SPL title challenge but 21-year-old to prioritise Europe.
“Manchester United have allowed him to look at moves.”
