Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has asked his club to sell him to Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Garnacho is one of five players included in the ‘bomb squad’.

He is now wanting to leave Old Trafford permanently.

Garnacho was told by manager Ruben Amorim to find a new club in May, after the winger was not happy with starting from the bench in the Europa League final.

United initially put a £70m price tag onGarnacho, but have reduced it to £50m.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Garnacho has warned the Red Devils to allow him to join Chelsea or he will sit on the bench for the next six to 12 months.

Garnacho has made 144 appearances for United and scored 26 goals, while providing 22 assists.
