The Argentine is reportedly available for sale this month
Ruben Amorim was unwilling to discuss transfer speculation surrounding Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho amid reported interest from Chelsea and Napoli.
Garnacho is reportedly available for sale this month as United look to raise funds to improve their ailing squad, despite spending close to £200million last summer.
Napoli have reportedly made Garnacho their top target to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who last week joined Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth around £60m. United are said to have put a similar price tag on their young forward's head.
Chelsea, and Tottenham, have also been linked with Garnacho as the January transfer window enters its final days, but Amorim was in no mood to discuss the speculation.
Asked by a reporter for an update on Wednesday, Amorim replied: "Let's focus on the game, I don't want to talk about that, especially before a game."
United are preparing to face Rangers in a huge Europa League clash on Thursday, the result of which will have a huge bearing on both sides' hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
