Trouble in paradise? Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim sheds light on Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho's absence in derby win
The pair who had not been reported injured or unwell were mysteriously absent from the travelling squad to bitter rivals Manchester City.
He rose through the ranks at Old Trafford and is now one of the most important players for the Red Devils. However, he is not considered untouchable; hence, Atletico are considering a move.
The details
According to a report from Spanish publication Fichajes today, Atleti, currently ranked second in LALIGA, have their sights set on their former academy player.
Over the weekend, Garnacho, alongside Marcus Rashford, were dropped out of the side that eventually beat Manchester City in the derby.
It is reported that the pair were being punished for disciplinary issues, and earlier today, it was reported that the record Premier League winners wanted to push Rashford out.
It is unclear if the situation is similar with Garnacho, but according to the Fichajes, Atleti are keen and would be willing to negotiate a transfer fee for the player whose contract expires in 2028.
