Manchester United supporters are worried Alejandro Garnacho has dropped a new transfer hint after putting his house up for sale.
Garnacho is a popular figure and fan favourite at Old Trafford having progressed through the club’s academy – but his future is up in the air.
It has been heavily reported that United are considering a sale in the summer transfer window with Chelsea and Napoli interested in a deal.
United are thought to be open to offloading academy stars like Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo to help with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
The Red Devils did not pay a transfer fee for the likes of Garnacho and Mainoo, meaning a potential sale would mark pure profit for the club.

The Sun reported on Friday that Garnacho has dropped the biggest hint yet he is thinking of leaving after ‘discreetly’ putting his house up for sale.
That has left United supporters worried, with one fan spotting the house has gone on the market for only £45k more than Garnacho paid for it.
The eagled-eyed fan told the newspaper: ‘It’s not unusual for a footballer to put their house up for sale. But it is unusual to try and sell a property less than 12 months after buying it, and for just £45k more than he paid for it.
‘The fact he has asked for it to be listed discreetly is worrying for United fans who like him as a player as it looks like he’s on the move in more ways than one.’
The 20-year-old Argentina international has played 132 games for United to date, conjuring up 24 goals and 17 assists.
Former United star Owen Hargreaves has urged United not to sell Garnacho amid rumours that he could be heading for the exit door.
Hargreaves would much rather see United boss Ruben Amorim build his team around the likes of Garnacho and fellow youngster Kobbie Mainoo.
‘[Garnacho is] a really, really good player and I really wouldn’t want to see him go,’ Hargreaves told Premier League Productions last month. ‘In a way, you’ve got to build around him and Kobbie Mainoo.’
Menawhile, Garnacho has faced criticism from a number of football pundits in recent weeks as well as his own manager.
