It's not about what Manchester United is at the moment, that's exactly the problem, INEOS and fans like you want to give up the history, the ethos of the club just to get a little success in the near term.What is Man Utd about at the moment though, huge debt, over rated and overpaid players, a mid table team with no relevance in the Champions League.
I have no issue with Garnacho being sold for a big fee if it is to raise funds to reinvest and rebuild the team and try and break the cycle we are in. With PSR now finance is more important than ever and we are massively handicapped because of a legacy of failure and bad transfers/contracts.
A lot of our players are unsellable and one way to try and speed up the squad being dismantled and rebuilt is a big sale, I don’t like it but it’s one way forward.
But Selling Garnacho isn't tactical, it isn't Amorim, its INEOS and the Glazers selling him to make a profit, so they can buy cheap players without having to invest on their own.
What it does though is change everything United is about. We have had youth players as part of our squad for decades, our history, our success is built on developing youth, promoting youth and winning with that youth. Obviously supplmenting the squad with transfer, but always with a element of our own.
Garnacho probably has the highest ceiling of anyone coming out of our youth system in probably a couple decades, maybe matched by Kobbie. We are not selling him for tactical reasons, it's not because he isn't in Amorim's plans, it's because the owners see it as financially beneficial to them. But once that happens Manchester United changes in the eyes of everyone. Our top players didn't get poached by bigger teams, basically the only one I can think of is Ronaldo and even then, he went of Fergie's terms. But if we sell Garnacho now, that means any time we have a promising young player they will be pursued and they will be bought, because clearly everyone has a price.
I can't even wrap my head around the idea of this team not being built around Mainoo, Garnacho and Amad because as a United fan of decades, I don't know this idea of selling our promising young players, but that is exactly what will change if this deal goes through.
All United fans should be protesting this, I truly don't understand any acceptance of this idea.
