A top European club is reportedly interested in signing Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho after he was dropped this past weekend.

Garnacho is being watched by Atletico Madrid amid uncertainty over his role under new manager Ruben Amorim at United, according to reports.
The Argentine forward – along with fellow Carrington graduate Marcus Rashford – was one of two major Red Devils stars dropped ahead of the must-win Manchester derby on Sunday by the head coach.
Amorim's decision ultimately paid dividends when United stole a march on their crisis-hit neighbours and swiped all three points at the Etihad. It was another rising star, Amad Diallo, whose extra-time goal helped get the visitors over the line as they ran out 2-1 winners.
Captain Bruno Fernandes had first levelled the scoreline late on after Josko Gvardiol had put Pep Guardiola's side ahead in the first half.
But should Garnacho not find his way back into Amorim's plans, another European giant could yet make a move for the 20-year-old.
As per The Sun, Diego Simeone's side have been alerted to a potential shift at Old Trafford after the weekend's derby snub and could be interested in keeping an eye on unfolding developments.
Garnacho featured in the Spanish capital as a youngster, spending five years as part of Atletico's academy before his move to Carrington four years ago.
Rather than write off his players' chances of making it back into the squad, though, Amorim was keen to stress that his decision had not been a permanent one.

The Portuguese manager explained his thinking after the match – but warned that all aspects of his players' performance and attitude were factors in making it into his starting XI.
