Manchester United are reportedly open to cashing in on one of their attackers should an offer arrive from Chelsea this summer.
Despite being on the brink of reaching the Europa League final, United have endured their worst-ever Premier League campaign and currently sit in 15th position in the standings.
As a result, there is expected to be plenty of activity in the transfer market from June onwards, Ruben Amorim eager to shape his squad more to his liking.
However, given United's position with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations, bids will have to be considered for the majority of their players should they arrive.
According to Football Insider, Alejandro Garnacho remains a player that could sold before the start of 2025-26.

Chelsea retain Garnacho interest
As per former scout Mick Brown, who is a regular contributor to the outlet, Chelsea are contemplating whether to reignite their interest from the winter window.
On that occasion, neither the Blues or fellow suitors Napoli failed to agree terms with United, and Garnacho has since improved with more opportunities in the final third.
Nevertheless, Brown is expecting more discussions, saying: "Chelsea's interest hasn't gone away. They wanted him in January and they're still looking to sign a new winger.
"It's been spoken about for a while that Man United could let Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo go because they want to raise money.
"Chelsea have the foundations of a top-class team and they're still looking to improve in key areas. The problem is, you don't know if Garnacho would come in and be a regular in that team, because they've got so many options out wide."

Is a transfer likely?
As alluded to by Brown, Chelsea already have a hatful of options for the flanks, while they also have obligations regarding United loanee Jadon Sancho, whether that be signing him permanently or paying a penalty fee to remove that buy clause.
Sancho has arguably done enough to justify Chelsea committing to signing him full-time, especially when Garnacho would cost twice as much.
In Premier League and Europa League action, 20-year-old Garnacho has contributed seven goals and six assists from his 32 starts and 15 substitute outings.
Unless Enzo Maresca sees something special in the Argentina international, they are not numbers that warrant a £50m outlay.
