Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed his starting XI and substitutes for Sunday's Premier League contest with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, and there is no Alejandro Garnacho in the squad.
Garnacho has allegedly been told that he is free to leave Old Trafford this summer following a fall-out after the Europa League final.
The 20-year-old was named on the bench for the clash with Tottenham Hotspur, which Man United lost 1-0, and he was not introduced until the 71st minute of the contest in Spain.
On Saturday, Amorim allegedly told Garnacho to find a new club this summer, with the player's agent and brother Roberto Garnacho hitting out at the Red Devils head coach following the European contest.

Garnacho left out of Man United squad for Villa contest
Unsurprisingly, Garnacho, who is being heavily linked with Napoli, is not in the squad for the final-day fixture against Villa, as Man United bid to end what has been an incredibly disappointing Premier League campaign on a positive note.
The 20-time English champions are down in 16th spot in the Premier League table, one point ahead of 17th-placed Tottenham and two behind 14th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, so there is room for movement on the final day.
As for Villa, Unai Emery's side are sixth, level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea, and the visitors to Old Trafford are bidding to secure a top-five spot to qualify for the 2025-26 Champions League.
Emiliano Martinez could be making his final appearance for Villa this afternoon, with the Argentina international being heavily linked with a move away from Villa Park.
Ollie Watkins, Marco Asensio and Morgan Rogers will feature as the front three at Old Trafford, while there is also a spot in midfield for Amadou Onana, who was linked with Man United during his time at Everton.

Fernandes starts for Man United amid exit talk
There is also currently speculation surrounding Bruno Fernandes's future, with the Man United captain saying after the Europa League final that he would be prepared to leave the Red Devils if the club wanted to sell him.
However, Fernandes starts, while there are also spots in the XI for Altay Bayindir, Victor Lindelof and Ayden Heaven.
Lindelof is set to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of June, while Andre Onana is not in the squad, with the Cameroonian's future also being called into question.
Rasmus Hojlund keeps his spot through the middle, but there is no Joshua Zirkzee in the squad, with Chido Obi the back-up forward.
There may also be a farewell appearance for Jonny Evans, with the experienced centre-back on the bench.
MAN UNITED XI: Bayindir; Lindelof, Maguire, Heaven; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Amad, Hojlund, Mount
Subs: Heaton, Dalot, Evans, Fredricson, Collier, Eriksen, Mainoo, Ugarte, Obi
ASTON VILLA XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, P Torres, Maatsen; McGinn, Kamara, Onana; Asensio, Watkins, Rogers
