Reports say Manchester United rejected another Chelsea player as part of a swap transfer involving Alejandro Garnacho. Bruce is pushing for Garnacho to sign before the September 1 transfer deadline, but so far he has been reluctant to meet United’s £50 million asking price.
Chelsea is said to be cherishing the 21-year-old winger for around £30 million. This prompted Stamford Bridge Chief to offer fringe players as part of the deal. United had already refused the opportunity to sign Axel Disassi, Renato Beiga, Christopher Nukank and Nicholas Jackson in return for Garnacho.
However, it is alleged that Chelsea have not given up on attempts to lower Garnacho’s relocation fees by including the stars of Enzo Maresca’s forces in their offers.
According to Fabrizio Romano, United declined Tirique George in exchange for an academy alumni.
The 19-year-old winger is expected to leave Chelsea before the deadline, and Rome is reportedly reportedly reportedly reported among suitors.
George made 26 appearances for the Chelsea first team, scoring three goals and registering five assists.
However, United have made it clear that if Premier League rivals want to sign Garnacho, they must meet their financial demands.

Argentina International is believed to have made his stance clear. He hopes to join Chelsea or stay in Manchester until the January transfer period.
Garnacho is also the focus of interest in professional league clubs in Napoli, Bayer Lebakusen, Bayer Munich and Saudi Arabia, including Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nasr.
However, he asserts that he wants to stay in the Premier League with Chelsea and is expected to eventually seal his switch.
He is one of several outcasts who have struggled with efforts to generate funds for further acceptance this summer.

Garnacho joins Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia in Amorim’s “Bomb Squad” and trains away from his team since the start of the preseason.
Marcus Rashford was also expelled before sealing off the loan moves in season to Barcelona. He spent the second half of the previous period at Aston Villa, following a fallout with the United boss.
Rasmus Hojlund took part in the fringe quarter this season with a shop window that was removed from the first two Premier League teams.
United are expected to complete the £17 million signature of Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens this week. Amorim also wants a new midfielder, and selling Garnacho could be key.
