Man Utd starlet Alejandro Garnacho is being linked with a move to Saudia Arabian club Al Hilal in the summer transfer window.

The brother of Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho has shot down the suggestion he could leave the club for Saudi Arabia this summer.

After a breakthrough season at Old Trafford, United have no intention of cashing in on the 19-year-old, in fact, they view him as one of only a few players who are categorically not for sale.

That hasn't stopped the rumours though, with one report claiming Saudi club Al Hilal are interested in signing Garnacho this summer as they look to attract a younger profile of player to their league. Garnacho would certainly be a significant coup for the Saudi Pro League, the only two issues are he currently has no interest in joining them and United have no interest in selling him.

Now the suggestion has been shot down even further by Garnacho's brother, who took to social media on Wednesday night to address the ridiculous rumour. Replying to a tweet about the story, Roberto Garnacho simply replied: "Tf is this," followed with a laughing face emoji.

The Argentine teenager enjoyed a brilliant breakthrough season in the United side scoring 10 goals and registering four assists in 50 appearances. He was the only player to be named in every first-team matchday squad across all competitions and played the fourth-highest number of minutes out of anyone at the club.

Garnacho is currently away with Argentina at the Copa America and could feature in their final group stage match against Peru this weekend.
