The 21-year-old's sale value would be the fourth largest for a United player after Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel di Maria.

Garnacho, who played 93 Premier League matches for United, was among five players seeking to exit the club this summer, along with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho. Rashford joined Barcelona on loan last month, according to Reuters.

Harry Kane missed his first penalty for Bayern Munich in a competitive match but scored a stoppage-time winner as the Bavarians struggled to beat third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden 3-2 in the German Cup on Wednesday after squandering a two-goal lead, Reuters reported.

Kane, who had not missed any of his previous 31 penalties in competitive matches for clubs and country since the 2022 World Cup, had also never missed from the spot in 22 attempts since joining Bayern Munich two years ago.

But the England captain, who had scored a penalty in the 16th minute to put them in front, was at the far post deep in stoppage time to nod in for his sixth goal in three matches this season and send Bayern through.

Kane, the first player to be crowned top scorer in both his first two seasons in the Bundesliga, had demanded a penalty minutes earlier for a Wiesbaden hand ball but, without the use of VAR in the Cup competition, there was no review, according to Reuters.

League Cup holders Newcastle United will begin the defence of their title with a home tie against third-tier Bradford City while Liverpool, last season's runners-up, host Southampton, Reuters reported.

Newcastle, whose win over Liverpool ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought, were given a bye into the third round along with the other Premier League clubs involved in either the Champions League or Europa League.

Manchester City will travel to League One Huddersfield Town while Chelsea go to Lincoln City and Arsenal are at Port Vale, according to Reuters.
