Manchester United: Amad Diallo 'hopes Alejandro Garnacho stays' after Ruben Amorim tells star to leave | OneFootball

The young forward has told his manager that he hopes the Argentine stays

Amad Diallo has told Ruben Amorim that he hopes Alejandro Garnacho stays at Manchester United this summer.

The unwanted player, nonetheless, was required to fly out to Asia for the club’s two post-season money-spinning friendlies, which began on Wednesday with another humiliating defeat, this time at the hands of ASEAN All-Stars. On Friday, United will face the Hong Kong national team.

Amad was talking to press in Hong Kong and, while sat next to his manager, expressed his hopes for Garnacho this summer.

“Alejandro is a really good player and we need good players in the team,” Amad told reporters in Hong Kong.

“I know Garna really well, so I hope to have Garna next season. It is not really a big issue for the team. Everything is good now."

Garnacho is in line to play on Friday, in what could be his final game for the club should Amorim get his wish.

The United manager said of the Argentine: “He is a player of Manchester United, all the players are here. Some players are injured and it was better for them not to fly here to play these two games. It is a normal situation.”

“If the players are available, I am going to put the players to play,” he continued: “I will try to divide [the team] because I don't want all the young kids together. I don't know if [Bruno Fernandes and Garnacho] will play together. I am trying to balance the team, but if they are fit, they will play. We will have the maximum respect for everybody here."
