Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho is “fed up” of Erik ten Hag and wants to quit the club if the Dutch manager remains at the club.

That is according to reports in Spain - as cited by Football365 - with Garnacho said to have reached the end of his tether with Ten Hag..

The pair are reported by The Sun to have argued this season, and Garnacho is said to be angry that Ten Hag keeps rotating and substituting him.

Garnacho is also said to have lost faith in Ten Hag’s ability to create a winning team at Old Trafford, having been promised trophies when he signed his latest contract.

Ten Hag is at risk of the sack but if he survives then Garnacho plans to push to leave the club.

A move to Spain would be his preferred destination, with Barcelona heavily linked.

Manchester United chiefs will meet on Tuesday where a decision will be made over whether to sack Ten Hag.

That is according to The Guardian, who report that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will chair an executive summit in London on Tuesday.

Present at the meeting will be Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth, and technical director Jason Wilcox.

Together they will decide whether to stick with or sack Ten Hag.

Ten Hag is on the brink of the sack after a disastrous start to the 2024-25 season.

Man United currently find themselves languishing down in 14th position in the Premier League with a minus-three goal difference after seven games.

United have failed to win either of their Europa League games, drawing with Twente and Porto.

Garnacho at Man Utd

The 20-year-old Garnacho has been one of the few bright lights of Ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United.

He was one of the breakout stars in the Premier League in 2022-23, making eight goal contributions from 10 starts and 29 appearances.

He had a string of memorable performances, including the winner against Real Sociedad in the Europa League which made him the youngest foreign player to ever score for Man Utd in European competition.

Garnacho broke a string of records, and also starred in the Manchester derby, assisting Marcus Rashford’s winner in the 2-1 victory over Man City.

Last season Garnacho continued to impress, with 10 goals in all competitions. He scored in the 2-1 FA Cup final win over Man City, hit a memorable brace in the 4-3 victory over Chelsea and scored the goal of the season with a stunning bicycle kick against Everton.

This season Garnacho has four goals in all competitions so far.
