“To leave the Premier League in January, because it is different in July, the player probably wanted to be financially satisfied. It is something that we cannot do at the moment, we are not ready and I don’t think it’s right.

“If you have an average content in the changing room and I bring in a young player who deserves a medium -sized to high content, I don’t find it right for the players who do important work here.”

Amorim repeatedly emphasized his wish to keep Garnacho, who was also of interest to Chelsea, and offered the Argentine international for many minutes. He started four games in the course of the month and impressed the head coach with his reaction to drop in addition to Marcus Rashford for the Manchester Derby from December.
