United, under Ruben Amorim, finished 15th in the Premier League — their worst-ever finish — and lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final to miss out on European competitions for the first time since the 2014-15 campaign.
Left out of the starting XI for the final
Garnacho was left out of the starting XI for the final against Spurs, a decision that angered the winger, who hinted after the game he could seek a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho is wanted by many clubs this summer, with his Manchester United future unclear.
Garnacho scored 11 goals in 57 games last season, his best individual campaign since making his debut with United in 2022.
He was not included in United’s squad for the team’s final Premier League match of the season against Aston Villa leading to speculation that he had fallen out with Amorim.
Following the loss to Spurs in the final, Amorim took a dig at Garnacho reminding the winger of his shortcomings.
Amorim said: “Some players come in, like Mason Mount, against [Athletic] Bilbao [in the Europa League semifinal] and changed the game. Who missed the big opportunity in the first half against Bilbao? Yeah [Garnacho].”
