LALIGA giants are reportedly eyeing a move for one of Manchester United's stars.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen on Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho and plan to bring him back to the Wanda Metropolitano. 

The 20-year-old was on the books of the Rojiblancos via their youth set-up from 2015-2020 before Manchester United signed him to Carrington. 

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

Garnacho has contributed 12 G/A in 20 matches this season for Man United.

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.
