Manchester United fan and YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has already made clear who he thinks the club should sign to replace Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho, 20, has been linked with a potential transfer away from United in recent weeks with Napoli and Chelsea linked with a move for the winger.
Of course, during Erik ten Hag’s tenure at the club, it was thought that Garnacho was ‘untouchable’ and seen as a pivotal part of the Dutchman’s plans.

However, this has not been the case since Ruben Amorim took over the side in November 2024.
On December 15, Amorim, 39, left Garnacho out of United’s 20-man matchday squad ahead of the 2-1 Manchester derby victory against Manchester City at the Etihad.
Although Amorim has since explained how he was “really happy” with the player’s response, the winger has had to settle for a place on the bench for much of the last three months.

On Monday evening, it was widely reported that the player’s agent was in attendance for Chelsea’s 3-1 Premier League win against Wolves at Stamford Bridge which has added to the speculation surrounding the 20-year-old’s future.
While contrary reports from Italian outlet Il Mattino even suggest that the player has “agreed to join Napoli”.
However, United Stand host and Red Devils supporter Mark Goldbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare – has made it clear who he thinks should replace Garnacho if he were to leave United.
On Tuesday morning, Goldbridge, 45, took to X to voice his thoughts.

“Man Utd need to be all over this Cunha deal,” he wrote.
Of course, Matheus Cunha has been a shining light for struggling Wolves this season, having registered ten goals and four assists in 22 appearances this term.
After Wolves’ 3-1 loss against Chelsea on Monday, manager Vitor Pereira criticised his players’ body language for not acknowledging the away fans at full time.

"I don't like this body language,” said Pereira. “I want someone, as a captain, trying to help the team - running, suffering and fighting all together. But this is something I can understand. Next time, I won't understand."
“But he needs to put his mind on his targets and increase his level after injury and help his team again with his quality,” he added. “The team needs him with good energy and not with frustration. He must slow down and put his mind in the right way."
Cunha, 25, is valued at around €50m (£42m) by Transfermarkt and his current contract is set to run until June 2027. Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked with a potential move for the player.
