Gary Neville has cautioned Manchester United against pursuing a potential swap deal with Chelsea involving Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku.
With Garnacho’s future at Old Trafford dominating the January transfer window, reports suggest United are open to selling the academy graduate for around £65m to address their financial challenges. Chelsea and Napoli have both expressed interest in the Argentine winger.
On the other hand, Christopher Nkunku, who has struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge under Enzo Maresca, has reportedly caught United’s attention, sparking discussions about a swap deal between the two players.
However, Neville isn’t convinced about the idea, telling NBC Sports: “I don’t get it for United. Nkunku’s hardly played, and while injuries have been a factor, he hasn’t hit his stride at Chelsea. Why would United make that swap?”
The Manchester United legend emphasized his concerns: “I’m not saying Garnacho is the best player in the world, but swapping him for Nkunku doesn’t feel like the right move for United. For Chelsea, maybe, but not for us.”
Contrasting views have emerged, with Paul Merson strongly backing the deal on Sky Sports: “If I’m Man United, I’m getting that deal done, 100 per cent. Nkunku’s unlucky at Chelsea because of Palmer’s form, but he’s a fantastic player. Garnacho, meanwhile, isn’t better than Jadon Sancho or Pedro Neto.”
Merson added: “Nkunku walks into the United team. Garnacho has potential, but his inconsistency means he’s not the answer right now.”
As the January transfer window heats up, the debate continues over what move United should make.
