ALEJANDRO ESCAPE ROUTE

- SIMON MULLOCK

MANCHESTER UNITED misfit Alejandro Garnacho could be offered an Old escape route from Trafford by Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.

The Argentine is being discussed as an alternative target to Liverpool winger Luis Diaz after the Premier League champions made it clear that the Colombian is still part of Arne Slot's plans.

Al-Nassr have told former Kop favourite Sadio Mane that he can leave the club this summer - and want a top-class replacement.

And the Saudis are now exploring the possibility of offering Garnacho the chance to link up again with his boyhood hero Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Red Devils have also had interest from Saudi about Jadon Sancho (right, top) after Chelsea sent the England winger back to Manchester following his season-long loan at Stamford Bridge.
