MANCHESTER — Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly slammed the brakes on a proposed £24 million transfer after learning of Manchester United’s valuation — and he’s not hiding his fury.

The 20-year-old winger, one of United’s brightest young stars, was left “stunned and insulted” upon discovering the club’s apparent willingness to part ways for what he believes is a “disrespectful” price. Sources close to the player say Garnacho is deeply frustrated, calling the figure a “lowball” that does not reflect either his performances or potential.

According to insiders, when Garnacho caught wind of the £24M tag during initial talks with a foreign club, his response was immediate: “I’m not cheap.” The Argentine reportedly confronted United’s leadership through his representatives, demanding clarity over his status at the club.

“He sees himself as a cornerstone of the future, not a throwaway option,” said one source familiar with the situation. “And if United don’t see that, he’s going to make sure everyone knows it.”

Despite occasional inconsistency, Garnacho has emerged as one of the few attacking sparks in an otherwise turbulent Manchester United campaign. His pace, flair, and fearlessness on the wing have made him a fan favorite — and a marketing asset.

However, the transfer noise has triggered fresh tension behind the scenes. While some within the club reportedly view a potential £24M sale as “good business,” others in the dressing room and technical staff are said to be “shocked” that such a low figure is even being entertained for a player with elite upside and international pedigree.

Garnacho himself has now blocked all negotiations, halting talks until he receives assurances that he is not being undervalued or pushed toward the exit. His entourage is also believed to be pushing for a revised long-term contract with clearer guarantees about his role in the starting XI.

This latest development adds to an already tense summer at Old Trafford, with new manager Rúben Amorim inheriting a fractured squad, growing unrest, and a fanbase desperate for stability.

Whether United truly intended to let Garnacho go — or whether the price was a signal to test interest — the message has been received loud and clear: Garnacho won’t leave quietly.

As one source bluntly put it: “He’s not just fighting for a number. He’s fighting for respect.”

And with tensions mounting, Manchester United may soon face the very real risk of alienating one of their most electric young stars — if they haven’t already.
