‘Get Him Out, and He Becomes Twice the Player’ – Napoli President Claims Fault Affects Garnacho at Manchester United
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has stirred controversy by suggesting that Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho would double his performance if transferred away from the club, a statement made during a press conference on July 10, 2025.
The 20-year-old Argentine, who joined United from Atlético Madrid’s youth academy in 2020, has shown promise with 10 goals and 8 assists in the 2024-25 season but has faced criticism for inconsistency under manager Erik ten Hag. De Laurentiis, known for bold remarks, implied that a “fault” within United’s environment, possibly managerial or tactical, stifles Garnacho’s potential.
The comment follows Napoli’s interest in the player, with reports of a €40 million bid being considered, though no official offer has been confirmed. De Laurentiis cited Garnacho’s standout performances, including a hat-trick against Everton, as evidence of untapped talent, contrasting them with his uneven Premier League output. Manchester United officials have not responded, but fans on social media speculate about internal squad dynamics or Ten Hag’s rotation policy. Analysts suggest Garnacho’s youth and adaptability could benefit from a move, though United values him at €60 million. The remark has fueled transfer rumors ahead of the August window, with Napoli eyeing a competitive edge in Serie A.
