Manchester United have multiple players set to leave the club this summer, with several stars having found themselves out of favor with manager Ruben Amorim. 

One such star is Alejandro Garnacho, who has been in the headlines plenty recently. The winger was linked to a move away from the club in January but ultimately stayed through the end of the season. 

Garnacho has been told he is not in Amorim's plans anymore, but the winger is eager to continue playing in the Premier League. One club could offer him his way out of Manchester and give United a replacement for the winger. 

Which club could be looking at a swap move for Garnacho?

New reports out of The Telegraph have suggested that Manchester United and Chelsea are considering a swap move for Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku. 

The clubs are not ruling out the possibility of the sending the two in opposite directions. Chelsea were interested in Garnacho in January, and Enzo Maresca has reignited his interest in the winger.

Both players are unhappy with their respective clubs but would like to stay in the Premier League.

Garnacho has inflamed many United supporters with a recent post in an Aston Villa jersey with Marcus Rashford's name on the back of it. The Argentine winger managed just six goals in the league this season. 

On the other side, Nkunku only scored three goals and assisted two this season in the Premier League. Should the swap happen, Amorim could see himself on the losing side of the deal.
