Pundit pulls no punches with scathing assessment of ‘runt’ Man Utd star who ‘should be drop-kicked out of Manchester’
"Runt" Label for Man Utd Star Sparks Outrage
Simon Jordan delivered a scathing verdict on Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, who is expected to depart the club before the transfer window closes. The 21-year-old Argentine has been ostracized by manager Ruben Amorim alongside Antony, Tyrell Malacia, and Jadon Sancho.
Garnacho's relationship with Amorim soured after United’s Europa League final defeat. In a post-match press conference, he called the season “sh*t,” questioned Amorim's decision to bench him for the final, and hinted at a summer exit from Old Trafford.
Reports emerged that Amorim told Garnacho to “pray” he found another club during a training session following the Europa League loss, ultimately dropping him from the squad for the final Premier League match of the season.
Chelsea or Nowhere:
Garnacho has been waiting for his desired transfer, with Chelsea reportedly his top choice over several other suitors in England and Europe. Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Garnacho told United’s board: “[It's] Chelsea or I stay here and don’t play football for 6-12 months.”
This bold ultimatum stunned fans, including talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan, who stated: "I think he’s a little runt that should be drop-kicked out of Manchester United at the first available opportunity for a decent amount of money because he doesn't understand which football club he’s playing for.”
End of an Era:
Garnacho is now poised to end his five-year stint at United, having signed from Atletico Madrid’s youth ranks for £420,000. He has made 144 first-team appearances, scoring 26 goals and providing 22 assists while earning a reported £50,000 per week on a contract that runs until 2028.
