Paul Scholes reveals huge Manchester United ‘fear’ as Chelsea eye £65m transfer
Paul Scholes has voiced his growing concern that Manchester United could make a major mistake by selling Alejandro Garnacho this summer, potentially watching him flourish elsewhere with 25 to 30 goals a season.
The 20-year-old winger has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Chelsea and Napoli both expressing strong interest in acquiring the Argentine talent.
While United reportedly placed a £65 million price tag on Garnacho, the valuation hasn’t completely deterred potential suitors. Chelsea, in particular, are expected to revisit their interest as the summer window approaches.

Despite his youth, Garnacho has already made a substantial impact at Old Trafford, making over 140 appearances and scoring 26 goals since breaking into the first team in 2022.
However, with Manchester United facing the financial pressures of Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), offloading valuable assets like Garnacho could become a necessity.
Scholes, though, believes selling the winger would be short-sighted and potentially damaging for the club’s long-term ambitions.
Speaking to TNT Sports, the former England midfielder highlighted Garnacho’s suitability for a traditional 4-3-3 formation and emphasized his attacking threat.
Scholes admitted the youngster still needs to refine aspects of his game, particularly decision-making and final passes, but he views those shortcomings as typical for a player of Garnacho’s age.
The Manchester United legend fears Garnacho could thrive in a different system and become a prolific scorer away from Old Trafford.
Scholes also acknowledged the difficulty of fitting Garnacho into the tactical plans of incoming manager Ruben Amorim, whose system may not naturally accommodate wide attackers.
That mismatch adds to the uncertainty surrounding Garnacho’s future. Scholes stated he would be unhappy to see the club part ways with the winger, describing Garnacho as frustrating at times but often the most dangerous player on the pitch for United.
Owen Hargreaves, another former Manchester United midfielder, echoed Scholes’ sentiments. He praised Garnacho’s ability to handle pressure and deliver in key moments, calling him one of the best options United have when it comes to taking on defenders out wide.
Hargreaves expressed hope that the club will resist selling Garnacho, even though Amorim’s system seems more tailored to central attacking midfielders rather than traditional wingers.
Garnacho himself has responded to the rumors, expressing his commitment to the club. Ahead of United’s Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, he reminded fans that he remains under contract until 2028 and is focused on earning his place through hard work and training.
He acknowledged the challenges of managerial changes midseason but emphasized that his goal remains to impress and secure regular minutes on the pitch.
As speculation continues to swirl, Manchester United face a difficult decision. Balancing financial considerations with footballing priorities, the club must determine whether keeping Garnacho aligns with their long-term strategy or if parting ways is the more pragmatic move.
Either way, Garnacho’s potential departure could be one of the defining stories of the summer transfer window.

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer
Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.
The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.
In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.
The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.
Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.
Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider
Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.
In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.
The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.
With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.
A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.
Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.
Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.
Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.
After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.
Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
