‘I’ve played against Man Utd’s Alejandro Garnacho replacement – he left us in shock’

Manchester United is setting up one of the Premier League’s most in-form players as a potential replacement for Alejandro Garnacho, whose future is uncertain in light of Napoli’s interest in the player.

If the statements made by James Maddison are any indication, Manchester United may wind up making a fortune with the prospective replacement for Alejandro Garnacho.

A blockbuster transfer for Bryan Mbeumo is being planned by the Red Devils in the event that Garnacho leaves Old Trafford in the month of this month. The star player for Brentford could be available for as little as forty million pounds, which is roughly the amount that United anticipates making if they manage to sell their Argentina international player, who has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli.

The only players who have scored more goals in the Premier League than Mbeumo, who is 25 years old, are Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, and Cole Palmer. Mbeumo has scored 13 goals in 21 games across the league. Madison was left in a state of disbelief after what is considered to be his best strike, which was a blistering volley that he accomplished against Tottenham in September. After the game, the England midfielder waxed lyrical about his opponent.

“There was shell-shock around the stadium,” Maddison said in reference to Mbeumo’s volley that was scored after only 22 seconds of additional time. “We’re all looking at each other, ‘What do we do now’ kind of thing, because you don’t plan for that in a game-plan.”

Additionally, Mbeumo has been receiving a lot of praise from the manager of Brentford, Thomas Frank, who has referred to him as “a leader in the making” in recent weeks. The Danish coach added to The Athletic, “He drives training with his attitude and work ethic and determination to want to get better and win,” despite the fact that he has disregarded the possibility of his player leaving the club in January on multiple occasions.

Somewhere another, talkSPORT analyst Jason Cundy compared Mbeumo’s playing style and ruthlessness in the box to that of the Egyptian player Salah. He referred to Mbeumo as a miniature version of Salah. In my opinion, Mbeumo, when you consider the many outcomes that may occur at Liverpool with Salah… The individual stated, “I am observing Mbeumo and what he is capable of doing.” “He’s a little mini Salah, off that right hand side, his left foot.”

There is a good chance that United’s decision to acquire Mbeumo will be contingent on whether or not they are successful in selling either Garnacho or Marcus Rashford. Since they were left at home for the Manchester derby in December, the two players have been on the outs with manager Ruben Amorim, and they are now on the verge of leaving the club in January.

Following reports that they have reached an agreement to sell star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli are currently searching for a new winger. In the summer, Napoli acquired Scott McTominay from United. The Serie A club has emerged as one of its primary targets, and it is understood that Garnacho is open to the possibility of moving to the club. Up until recently, United considered Garnacho to be an indispensable player.

As a result of growing concerns regarding the club’s compliance with the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) of the Premier League, it is also understood that United are more than willing to let the 20-year-old leave the club. Due to the fact that Garnacho can be sold for “pure profit” after graduating from the academy, this is the case.

According to reports, McTominay, who has made a blistering start to life at Napoli, is working hard to lure his former team-mate to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and indirectly sent the Argentinian a message a few weeks ago. “I love this place,” he told BBC Sport in December.

“I adore the fans, I love my team-mates. It has been a pleasure to be with Billy [Gilmour] every day, rather than just seeing him at Scotland, and we have helped each other a lot.”
