Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho sends out a message to fans amidst speculation that he could leave the club in the near future.

Alejandro Garnacho has appeared to reaffirm his commitment to Manchester United after he posted a message on social media following his side's loss against Crystal Palace.

The Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by the Eagles on Sunday, succumbing to their seventh defeat in their last 11 Premier League games.

Garnacho played the entire match against Palace, missing one big chance while creating one big chance, but the winger has been frequently linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Chelsea have been credited with serious interest in the 20-year-old, while others like Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli were also said to be keen on his signature.

However, Garnacho took to Instagram in the aftermath of United's defeat against Palace, posting a picture of himself with the words "we will try again Friday" on the image.

United are set to take on Leicester City in the FA Cup on Friday, and given that fixture takes place after Monday's transfer deadline, it would seem that the forward committed his immediate future to the Red Devils.

Why Manchester United have to keep Alejandro Garnacho

Ruben Amorim's public fallout with Marcus Rashford eventually saw the English winger depart on loan to join Aston Villa, with Unai Emery's side having the option to sign him permanently in the summer for £40m.

Rashford's exit means United will enter the second half of the season light in attack considering Antony also left to join Real Betis on loan earlier this transfer window.

Amad Diallo and Garnacho are the club's only two natural wingers, but Diallo has at times been utilised as either a wing-back or an attacking midfielder.

United have only scored 28 goals in the league this season, and that makes them the division's joint fifth worst offensive team in the top flight.

It is of little surprise that the club reportedly made an attempt to sign Mathys Tel, though now the attacker has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur, it is imperative that the Red Devils keep hold of Garnacho.

The winger's ability to run in behind and attack space could be vital in the remainder of the campaign, especially if United reach the latter stages of the Europa League where his direct playstyle could help the club win the competition and qualify for the Champions League.
