Diallo’s Support for Garnacho
Amad Diallo expressed his desire on Thursday for fellow Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho to remain with the club, even as rumors circulate about Garnacho potentially departing this summer. Reports from ESPN indicate that the 20-year-old’s agents are scheduled to hold discussions with Manchester United as the transfer window approaches. Sources suggest that Garnacho could indeed leave if a satisfactory offer is made for him.
Match Involvement and Praise
Recently, despite speculation regarding his future, Garnacho was part of coach Ruben Amorim’s squad that faced SEAN All-Stars and suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat, followed by a trip to Hong Kong. During a pre-match press conference prior to the game in Hong Kong, Diallo praised Garnacho, saying:
“He is a really good player and we need quality players like him in our squad. I know Garna well, and I hope he sticks around for next season. I believe everything is fine at the moment.”
Amorim on Garnacho’s Tour Participation
Amorim also addressed Garnacho’s involvement in the tour, stating that it was expected for him to be present since he is a part of Manchester United’s roster. He added that some players were injured and thus did not make the trip, which is a normal circumstance in football.
Missing the Win Against Aston Villa
Garnacho missed the 2-0 win against Aston Villa last Sunday after expressing dissatisfaction over being benched during the Europa League final, where United faced Tottenham Hotspur.
Looking Back on the Season
Reflecting on a challenging season that saw Manchester United finish in a disappointing 15th place in the Premier League, Amorim acknowledged the difficulties encountered during their post-season tour. He remarked:
“It’s a challenging context given how the season unfolded, making it tough to engage with fans globally.”
He emphasized the importance of facing supporters, stating:
“We understand it’s a difficult moment, but we want to provide something special to our fans. Although time constraints can make it hard to connect fully, we recognize the necessity of being present for our supporters in these challenging times.”
