Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly been told to find a new club by manager Ruben Amorim.
The bombshell comes just days after the Argentine star and his brother appeared to criticise Amorim following the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.
Garnacho was limited to just 20 minutes of action in the final, despite featuring prominently in earlier rounds of the competition.
The 20-year-old's future at Old Trafford now appears uncertain following this dramatic development.

Amorim reportedly addressed Manchester United's squad at their Carrington training ground on Sunday, where he stressed he would remain in charge next season.
This came despite the Portuguese manager previously suggesting he would leave if the hierarchy decided he wasn't the right man for the job.
During this meeting, Amorim reportedly told Garnacho, who is contracted until June 2028, to look for a new club this summer, the Athletic claims.
The manager had been reluctant to discuss Garnacho's future publicly ahead of United's final match of the season against Aston Villa.
Garnacho made his frustration clear after the Europa League final, telling media: "I played every round to help the team reach the final, and today I only got 20 minutes."
When questioned about his future, the Argentine added: "I don't know. I will try to enjoy the summer and then see what happens."

The forward had earlier hinted at his disagreement with Amorim's decision by posting a memory of himself scoring in last season's FA Cup final under former manager Erik ten Hag.
Garnacho's brother Roberto, who also acts as his agent, caused further controversy by criticising Amorim's decision on social media.
Following the final, Roberto posted on Instagram: "Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus. [Wow] hahahahahaha."

This public mockery of the manager's team selection appears to have contributed to the deterioration in relations between Amorim and the young winger.
Manchester United rejected an offer from Napoli for Garnacho in January, but the situation has now dramatically changed.
The club could now be willing to listen to offers between £60m and £70m for the Argentina international this summer.

This represents a significant shift in United's stance on the player, who had been considered one of the brightest young talents at the club.
With Amorim seemingly set on a future without Garnacho, a summer departure now appears increasingly likely for the winger.
