The 2024-25 campaign has marked another year of disappointment for Manchester United.
The Red Devils have spent a large chunk of the league season in bottom half.
New manager Ruben Amorim was brought in to steady the ship but has been unable to halt the slide, with United now facing a finish outside the top 10.
The Portuguese recently lashed out at his players in a team meeting, highlighting the ongoing struggles for Amorim.
One of the few bright sparks has been Alejandro Garnacho.

The Argentinian reached 10 goals for the season during the recent defeat to Newcastle.
He is set to switch his allegiances, news which came to light following the end of his goal drought.
Despite his tally, only three of Garnacho’s goals have come under Amorim, highlighting his struggles to fit into the new manager’s setup.
The Argentine forward has been granted regular game time.
Partly due to Amad Diallo’s injury, but Garnacho’s performances have been inconsistent.
Speculation around Garnacho’s long-term future resurfaced during the January transfer window.
Uncertainty remains around his summer plans.
Rio Ferdinand advises Alejandro Garnacho to leave
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes Garnacho should seriously consider leaving Old Trafford.
Speaking on his podcast, Ferdinand said: “If I was Garnacho’s advisors, I’d be off. I’d advise him to go.
“They are not going to play him in the position where he’s best, they are not going to get the best out of him.”
Ferdinand also pointed out that any potential deal would benefit United financially under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
It marks a sharp turn in Garnacho’s journey, with the youngster once considered a future star for the club.

He once lifted the FA Youth Cup and scored in last season’s FA Cup Final against Manchester City.
Amorim’s tactical switch has reduced the role of natural wingers.
Thus, forcing Garnacho into a narrower position that does not suit his strengths.
Despite the situation, Ferdinand remains convinced the winger has the potential to shine elsewhere.
He added: “I think there’s something there with this kid in the right environment and the right people around him.”
Ferdinand concluded by praising Garnacho’s mentality amid a difficult season: “I’m still seeing enough from this kid in a below average team.”
With Amorim expected to reshape the squad this summer, Garnacho’s future remains one of the big questions heading into the transfer window.
