According to Manchester Evening News, Alejandro Garnacho's brother has responded to recent rumors suggesting the forward might join the Saudi Pro League this summer, pushing back against the idea while subtly suggesting that some of his Manchester United teammates could consider such a move.
Reports emerged on Thursday indicating Al Ahli, a team in the Saudi Pro League, were interested in Garnacho. Since debuting in the Premier League in April 2022, Garnacho has become integral to United's lineup, notably scoring in their recent FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. He remains under contract at Old Trafford for another four years, with Manchester Evening News reporting that he is among the four players deemed not for sale by new shareholders Ineos this summer.
Addressing suggestions that Garnacho should consider the Saudi Pro League offer, Roberto Garnacho responded sharply, implying that other United players might be better suited to such a move, stating: "Nah some others should."
Roberto's remarks follow recent comments from former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, who urged midfielder Casemiro to leave United and consider opportunities in either the Saudi Pro League or MLS this summer. Carragher's comments came after United's disappointing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in May, where he remarked: "I think Casemiro should know tonight that he should only have another three games left at the top level. The next two league games and the cup final, then he should be thinking, 'I need to go to the MLS or Saudi'."
Carragher continued, expressing concern for Casemiro's performance level and suggesting he retire from top-level football while still at his peak: "The football has left him. At this top level, he needs to call it a day at this level and move. The level of that player, he should not be putting himself through this."
These developments highlight ongoing speculation surrounding the futures of Garnacho and Casemiro at Manchester United, amidst suggestions of potential moves to leagues abroad.
