  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Garnacho is hoping to secure a move to Chelsea before the summer transfer window closes after being deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim. The winger has reportedly told United that he either moves to Chelsea this summer or spends the next 6-12 months on the bench at Old Trafford.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Garnacho has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea, meaning the two sides simply need to agree on a fee. Manchester United are thought to want around £50 million ($67.1m) for the Argentina international, but television pundit and former striker Ally McCoist has warned Chelsea off a move for the 21-year-old.

• WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

  McCoist told talkSPORT: "I’m not having it, no. Man United are desperately trying to get rid of him. Stay away. I don’t think Chelsea need him at this moment in time. I know [Noni] Madueke’s away across the city [having joined Arsenal], but no."
