Manchester United star's brother issues three-word response to Saudi Arabia transfer rumour
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.

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.
