In the midst of growing transfer speculation surrounding rising star Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has stepped forward with a passionate warning to his former club: do not make the mistake of selling the young Argentine winger.

Yorke, a key figure in United’s treble-winning side of 1999, didn’t mince words when speaking to reporters this week:

“They’d be absolutely mad to let Garnacho go. This is a special player — full of confidence, raw talent, and that fearless energy United need more of, not less.”

The 19-year-old has become one of the brightest lights in a turbulent season for the Red Devils, dazzling fans with his pace, boldness, and clutch performances — including key goals in the Premier League and cup competitions. But despite his growing influence, rumors have intensified about potential suitors across Europe, reportedly drawn by Garnacho’s promise and frustrated by uncertainty surrounding Manchester United’s direction and squad planning.

Yorke pointed to one key reason why a move might be tempting for Garnacho — and dangerous for United: a lack of clear vision from the top.

“There’s no way this conversation even happens if the club has a solid project,” Yorke said. “Young talents start looking elsewhere when they’re not sure if they’re part of something meaningful. That’s on the leadership.”

He urged United’s board and manager to build around Garnacho, not sell him off in what would be another blow to long-term stability and identity at Old Trafford.

“He’s got that United DNA — flair, hunger, and a bit of fire. The club should be nurturing that, not entertaining offers.”

With top clubs from Spain, Italy, and even England reportedly circling, fans are holding their breath, while Yorke’s comments only add to the growing pressure on Manchester United’s decision-makers.

As the summer transfer window approaches, one thing is clear: selling Alejandro Garnacho could be a mistake United regret for years — and Dwight Yorke isn’t the only one who thinks so.
