Man U going after depay now! Is that means they have no plan to give grancho any minutes😌
Ten Hag already said jn the beginning of the season that Garnacho is an exciting player for the future. They also will buy Antony. Their AM/winger/forwards are stacked. If Garnacho stays he would likely play at Carabao cup or FA cup only. I agree he should ask for a loan. The likes of Bournemouth could be good.
Make Garnacho loan part of the Ajax deal for Antony. Garnacho at Ajax would be a good scenario. A team that offers plenty of opportunities for youngsters.
Ajax is the best club for any young player.
