Man Utd transfer odds: Garnacho poised for exit with Amorim staying
Manchester United endured a dismal 2024/25 campaign, with a 15th-place Premier League finish and defeat in the Europa League final encapsulating their season.
Now, without the allure of European football and the club in apparent financial ruin, this summer is expected to comprise a series of pivotal incomings and outgoings at Old Trafford.

Recent reports suggest the owners are open to selling any player at the right price - evidencing a complete lack of trust in an underperforming squad.
As a critical summer transfer window beckons, there is no more appropriate time to evaluate who is most likely to depart United ahead of 2025/26.
Alejandro Garnacho told to find new club
Rumours that manager Ruben Amorim ordered Alejandro Garnacho to find a new employer spread like wildfire in the wake of United’s Europa League loss to Spurs. The 20-year-old reportedly grew frustrated with his play-time during the final – culminating in a heated exchange between the pair.
Napoli (1/1) are bet365’s favourites to land the Argentine’s signature. William Hill have listed Atletico Madrid at 6/1, while Ladbrokes expect Chelsea (5/1) to enter the running for United’s young attacker.
Interestingly, bet365’s odds suggest that Garnacho is more likely to stay at United (14/1) than move to Juventus (16/1), any Saudi Arabian team (16/1) or join PSG (25/1). Having been told to “pray” that a new club will pay for his services – a switch away from the red side of Manchester appears likely.
Ruben Amorim determined to stay
Despite only replacing Erik ten Hag in November 2024, Ruben Amorim’s future remains a hot topic among those close to the club. The 40-year-old may have told the squad that he will maintain his managerial post beyond this summer – but United’s board is renowned for cutting ties quickly.
According to BetVictor, former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri (4/1) is best placed to take over from Amorim. The Italian is joined by Gareth Southgate at 4/1, while Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner sits at 6/1.
As for Amorim’s next job, BetVictor has put forth the French national team (33/1) as a plausible port of call.
Bruno Fernandes relinquished for rebuild
United’s captain has outlined that he is open to leaving if the club needs an instant cash injection this summer. At 30 years old and contracted until 2027, the Portuguese star will either oversee or fund an Old Trafford rebuild.
Ladbrokes anticipate a move to Saudi Arabia (6/4), whereas bet365 view another season at Manchester United (1/3) as the most probable outcome.
However, Paddy Power envision a transfer to Real Madrid at 12/1 – with new head coach Xabi Alonso potentially eager to welcome fresh faces to the Galacticos’ midfield. PSG (16/1) stands as another prospective destination for United’s number eight, as suggested by Sky Bet.
A romantic return to Sporting Lisbon (28/1) has been proposed by William Hill – but such a move is highly unlikely.
