Alejandro Garnacho’s Man Utd exit will spark mini transfer merry-go-round with two new arrivals and another star leaving
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO leaving Manchester United could be the spark to light a fire of transfer movement at Old Trafford.
Garnacho, 20, appears to be edging closer to an exit from United in the coming days after being linked with Chelsea and Napoli.
Man Utd fans have been hesitant to get on board with losing one of their brightest talents, but it may get the ball rolling on some much-needed arrivals at Old Trafford.
Given his status as an academy graduate, Garnacho would represent pure profit on Man Utd’s books with regard to FFP and PSR rulings if sold.
Meaning Garnacho’s proposed £60m transfer fee would, in theory, unlock huge spending power for manager Ruben Amorim.
That is because when clubs buy players, the transfer fees are amortised over the term of the contract for accounting purposes – effectively spreading the cost.
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW
So should United splash £40m on a new full-back on a five-year deal, they are able to split that cost over the course of the contract at just £8m per season.
That means that a £60m could be used to fund one year of amortisation on £300m of spending on players signing five-year deals at Old Trafford.
According to Sky Sports, a Garnacho exit this month could already get the ball rolling on that spending.
They claim that if the Argentine makes a switch to Chelsea, then the Blues could open the door to allow Christopher Nkunku to head the other way and possibly join Man Utd on loan.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
A permanent move for Nkunku is thought to be highly unlikely as United would be keen to use the funds for a left wing-back instead.
The sale of Garnacho would boost United’s transfer kitty and therefore their chances of bringing in full-back Patrick Dorgu from Lecce this month.
The Red Devils have reportedly had a £25.3m bid rejected by Lecce for the defender, with the Serie A side holding out for a fee closer to £33.6m.
Any funds from Garnacho would help them to return to negotiations and table a new offer for their target.
While if Dorgu does arrive, then it would free up out-of-favour Tyrell Malacia to leave the club on loan.
Sky claim that a number of European clubs have expressed interest in signing the Dutchman on loan should Dorgu arrive.
The transfer merry-go-round would all be started by a Garnacho exit, something that Amorim has left the door open for.
Quizzed on if Garnacho will leave before the deadline after United’s 1-0 win over Fulham on Sunday, Amorim said: “That, nobody knows. Anything can happen.
“He is improving in every part of the game: the understanding, when to defend. I am trying to find the best position for him. Today he played a bit open, not so inside. We need guys who can play one v one.”
Another rare ‘planetary parade’ is coming very soon with a seventh planet joining the mix for a spectacular alignment
ANOTHER, even rarer, ‘planet parade’ is set to grace skies very soon.
For one night only, all seven other planets in the Solar System will align in the night sky at the same time.
This month, six planets have been visible in the sky – and will be joined by Mercury in a few weeks’ time.
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mercury will be strung across the sky in an arc shape on 28 February.
Although just five planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury, will be visible to the naked eye.
Uranus and Neptune are never visible to the naked eye, as they are simply too far away from Earth.
However, with a good pair of binoculars or a telescope, you may be in luck.
It’s not uncommon for a few planets to align – all it requires is for them to be on the same side of the Sun as the Earth.
But it’s quite rare for six planets to align, and even rarer for seven.
Mars, Venus and Jupiter will be easy to spot on 28 February.
Venus will be the brightest in the sky, shining twice as bright as the North Star, Polaris.
It will be followed by Jupiter, glowing only slightly brighter than Polaris.
Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will appear as bright-white points of light, like stars.
While Mars will have a distinct orange glow.
What causes the alignment?
Planets are constantly moving, which means their paths occasionally cross into an alignment in Earth's sky.
Dr Dan Brown, an astronomy expert here at Nottingham Trent University, explained to The Sun: “All planets including Earth move in more or less the same plane in our solar system.
“So that from our perspective the planets are always very close to the apparent path of the Sun in the sky also known as the ecliptic.
“This means they will always be along this line.
“You could compare it with cars on a straight road.
“Since they can only drive on the road they will always be found along the road in more or less a line.
“What varies is how close they are to each other and when we can see them.”
Tips to view ‘planet parade’
Head outside early to allow your eyes to adjust to the dark.
This way you’ll be able to see Saturn, which won’t be as bright as Mars, Venus and Jupiter.
While binoculars or telescopes can allow you to see the planets in all their glory, they can also limit the portion of the sky you can see.
The best time to go outside and look will be just after sunset.
Jupiter is scheduled to set at roughly 6:30pm GMT / EST in the UK and the US.
Mercury’s placement will be low on the horizon, meaning it will also set and dip out of visibility at about 7pm GMT / EST.

Out There viewers left shaken by horror stabbing as Martin Clunes’ ITV drama takes sinister turn
OUT There viewers have been left shaken after witnessing a horror stabbing on the brand new drama.
The programme, fronted by Martin Clunes, has not stopped short of shocking viewers thanks to its grisly scenes and graphic nature with the latest episode of the programme being no different.
Fans were left horrified as they watched a horror stabbing unfold right in front of their eyes on the programme.
In the scenes, a drug dealer, Kenny, was stabbed by Jonny Williams, who is played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis, which left fans’ stomachs turning.
Another drug dealer Rhys had been blackmailing Jonny to do drugs runs for him and his boss Kenny prior to the attack.
But when Kenny eventually attempted to rape Jonny’s sister, Sadie, things took an eerily sinister turn.
With Jonny aware that the rape was about to happen, viewers saw Kenny pinning Sadie down and demanding she take her clothes off.
As Kenny later pushed her against a wall, Jonny burst in and stabbed him with the blood gushing out onto the floor and onto Sadie.
Unsure of what to do next, it led Jonny to ask his father Nathan, played by Martin, to help him in the clean-up efforts in order to get rid of the copious amounts of blood on display.
Reacting in horror to the grim nature of the scenes, one fan said: “This has got very grim..#outthere.”
Another added: “Proper dark this innit!?! #outthere.”
Before a third shared: “Knife crime being normalised #OutThere.”
Others were left less than impressed by Nathan’s clean-up efforts after the stabbing, saying: “They make it look so easy, but you always get caught out in the end. Small community, no escape.”
Before someone else echoed: “#OutThere one way or another forensics will track them down.”
