WHAT HAPPENED?
According to, United are open to offers for their Argentine winger to help finance a move for Cunha – who has a £62.5 million ($83m)release clause. Atletico Madrid are said to be keeping tabs on the 20-year-old who is 'reluctantly open to leaving Old Trafford' after struggling to find a 'defined role' under head coach Ruben Amorim. Chelsea have previously been linked, too.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said the club would go "bust" by Christmas unless big cuts were made. Whether or not that is true, the Red Devils do need to sell players before they can buy and moving on an academy player, who goes down as pure profit on the balance sheet, may be a shrewd financial move. Garnacho was linked with Chelsea and Napoli in January, and while his stock is still relatively high, this summer may be the best time to sell him after a tough campaign.
