CITY GROUND — Alejandro Garnacho came very close to leaving Manchester United in January. Very close.
Yet the more level-headed supporters could see the logic. There is no doubting Garnacho is a talented player, with an attacking vigour few others possess at a club littered with ineffective, misfiring forwards.
Another evening of selfishness in front of goal, poor decision making and problems with attitude in defeat at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night will only enhance the feeling that cashing in now may not be the worst idea.
The international break and an early FA Cup exit gave Amorim that rarest of commodities in the modern era – substantial time on the training pitch.
Any essence of a game plan was thrown out of the window early on as they inexplicably allowed Anthony Elanga space to run 85 metres of the pitch, mostly unchallenged.
The flying forward, who was allowed to leave Old Trafford two years ago to make way for Antony, then drilled home what proved to be the winner into the bottom corner.

The home support were of course revelling in yet another moment of pure unadulterated joy on the banks of the Trent, taunting United’s travelling support with a booming “he left because you’re s**t”.
Rasmus Hojlund, fresh from breaking his 22-hour goal drought against Leicester last time out, was summoned for a second-half reshuffle, with Fernandes dropping into the deeper role he has been devastating in of late.

Man Utd should sell Bruno Fernandes - it would be his biggest contribution
Read MoreGarnacho made a heavy contribution to the visitors’ ineptitude in the final third. Time and again the young Argentine would carry the attack to Forest before making the wrong pass selection or just shoot at goal for the sake of it – not an uncommon trait of his.
What’s more, issues with his attitude were apparent for all to see as he kicked the ball away in frustration to earn a second-half caution, wasting valuable seconds for his team when losing.
“The most important thing for me is that when he needs to run back, he is running back. Of course we want a player that has one against one.
Except he kind of did already. Young players can be forgiven for having the hubris to look for goal whenever they can. Alan Shearer did not plunder as many goals as he did by scanning for the pass.
And ahead of a summer where everything that moves is for sale, at the right price, Ratcliffe and Ineos will likely be all ears to any offers laid on the table.
