Garnacho's relationship with the club and head coach Ruben Amorim has deteriorated. This comes after the Argentine publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Amorim's game plan during the Europa League Final against Tottenham. Garnacho was visibly frustrated with his limited game time in the final and stated that he would decide his future in the summer. This didn't go down well with Amorim, who dropped him from the team for their final game of the 2024–25 campaign against Aston Villa, making it more prominent that the winger will soon depart Old Trafford. There have also been reports of the United boss having allegedly told the 20-year-old that he 'better pray' that a new club wants to buy him in the summer.
