Alejandro Garnacho in Man United tour squad despite exit talk

Alejandro Garnacho has been included in Manchester United’s squad for their post-season tour of Asia despite being axed for the win over Aston Villa.

Garnacho was omitted for the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday after venting his frustration at being left on the bench for the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.

However, the Argentinian has still been included in Ruben Amorim’s squad for games against SEAN All-Stars and Hong Kong. Players and staff boarded a flight to Asia on Sunday night.

United rejected a bid for Garnacho from Napoli in January and there was also interest from Chelsea.

Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martínez have been ruled out through injury. Mazraoui started against Villa, but was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half.
