Ruben Amroim has told Alejandro Garnacho that he will remain at Old Trafford if Chelsea do not meet Manchester United’s asking price this summer.
Amorim made it clear to Garnacho that he has no future at United after he was left out of the squad for their final Premier League game last season and benched for the Europa League final against Spurs in May.
Garnacho hit out at Amorim after he was dropped for the Europa League final defeat to Spurs in Bilbao and indicated that his future at United is in doubt.
The Argentina international had attracted interest from both Chelsea and Napoli in the January transfer window but were unwilling to meet United’s £70 million asking price.
Chelsea have retained their interest this summer and reports this week have claimed that United have now dropped Garnacho’s valuation to £40m.

Garnacho, who is keen to remain in the Premier League and join a Champions League club, has been omitted from United’s pre-season tour squad this month.
However, Amorim is adamant that Garnacho will be reintegrated back into United’s first team if he fails to secure a move away before the end of the summer transfer window.
Asked if United are concerned by the possibility of reducing the value of their unwanted players such as Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony by leaving them out of their pre-season tour of the United States, Amorim said on Friday: ‘I think that is not the case.
‘There are different reasons for the players. Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team, other players clearly show that they want a new challenge and they want new teams.
‘So we are just allowing these players time to think and to decide.
‘If they reach a point where they have to join the team they will join the team because they are our players.
‘I know for a fact Omar [Berrada] and Jason [Wilcox] and the club have a number for these players. If they don’t reach that they will be Manchester United players, no doubts about that.
‘I understand the club are maybe waiting for the last minute but they can have a surprise and I am ready, I am ready to receive the players.
‘They have more competition, if they want to play in the World Cup they need to play so I’m really happy with that because I will have more options.
‘If they have to fight each other to play for me that is perfect.’
