When Rasmus Hojlund got Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo to sit on the advertising fence at Old Trafford and let themselves be pictured in triumph, this was meant to be an iconic image of the future Man Utd stars. Three, four years later, the first two are out of the club, while Mainoo has been called back into the heat after the Amorim exit.

I was on the bench, which is not really a bad thing. I was only 20 years old, but in my head it was like I had to play every game. In my head – and that part is maybe my fault – I started doing some stupid things,” Garnacho told Sky Sports.

For Manchester United, this could mean a few million pounds extra for the club’s coffers. With a repurchase clause of 10 percent of the sale price, United will be left with a sales income that has not been budgeted for.
