Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes believes the club should sell Alejandro Garnacho instead of Kobbie Mainoo.
Scholes insisted that Garnacho is a bit scruffy and his decision-making sometimes really poor.
According to him, Man United supporters should not worry if the club decide to sell the Argentina international.
Garnacho has been linked with Napoli this January transfer window.
The 20-year-old has been identified as Napoli’s first-choice replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is set to join Paris Saint-Germain.
The Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules could also force Man United to listen to offers for Mainoo, who is attracting interest from both Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
However, Scholes said he would be offended if Mainoo is sold, adding that United should instead sell Garnacho.
“It would be absolutely ridiculous if the club had to sell him or Garnacho,” Scholes told TNT Sports when asked if United should sell Mainoo.
“All the hard work the club have had to do, he’s probably been since seven or eight years of age, and then to sell him for some PSR rules, it’s ridiculous.
“He’s United’s brightest spark, he’s the leading man who could be here for the next five to ten years.”
But when asked if United may need to sell in order to finance a rebuild under manager Ruben Amorim, Scholes replied: “I can see that with Garnacho, yeah.
“I think United could get better than Garnacho, although he’s a young player and there’s still probably better to come, I still think he’s a little bit scruffy in his technique at times, I think his decision-making sometimes is really poor.
“I wouldn’t be afraid or I wouldn’t be worried if they sold Garnacho. But Mainoo, I would be offended by that.”
