Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has refused to comment on the Londoners' interest in a move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, insisting he is happy with his current wide options.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Thursday, Chelsea have emerged as the frontrunners to sign the Argentine international ahead of the transfer window closing on February 3.

Chelsea are understood to have advanced interest in the winger, who was excellent in United's 2-1 win over Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Addressing the media on Friday morning ahead of his team's Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium othis weekend, Maresca stopped short of giving anything away, instead pointing to the number of wide players he currently has available to him.

"I'm happy with what we have in this moment," the Chelsea boss said. "On the right, it's [Pedro] Neto and Noni [Madueke].

"On the left, we have [Jadon] Sancho. We had Misha [Mykhailo Mudryk] but he's not with us. Tyrique [George] is an option."

Napoli have also expressed firm interest in Garnacho and saw a bid of around £40million rejected by United earlier this month. The Italian side are continuing to search for a direct replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who sealed a move to Paris Saint-Germain last week.

Following United's dramatic victory over Rangers, head coach Ruben Amorim was directly asked if that may have been Garnacho's final game for the club.

"No, I'm focused on the games and he's here, he's a player for Manchester United," Amorim answered. "[He] was really important for us today and let’s see in the next days.

"I think he's improving in every aspect of the game. He was better today playing inside, also outside, changing positions, he's improving the recovering position."
