Garnacho has made subtle digs to Amorin after leaving Manchester United

Alejandro Garnacho, after transferring from Manchester United to Chelsea for £40 million, told his old club bluntly: they missed a player who could change the situation. The winger, who was excluded by Ruben Amorin, finally got rid of Manchester United's "abandoned career".

21-year-old Garnacho had a stumble with the Manchester United coach at the end of last season - he was furious about not being selected for the UEFA Cup finals starting list, and was then excluded from the roster that defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in the final season, and was also told that he was not in Amorin's 2025/26 season plan.

After that, Garnacho, together with Marcus Rashford, Jaden Sancho, Anthony, and Terrell Maracia, were classified as "abandoned lineup" and were forced to train alone. Now, the Argentine international follows Rashford's footsteps and leaves Old Trafford, and is full of expectations for joining Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca is the key figure in the fight, and Garnacho and his old club Manchester United have obviously no nostalgia. Since joining Chelsea on the weekend, he has intensively shared content related to the Blues on social media, but has not sent any farewell messages to Manchester United.

Last season, Garnacho contributed 11 goals and 10 assists in 58 games. In his first interview after joining Chelsea, he unabashedly "sarcastic" Manchester United: "I have a winner mentality, full of enthusiasm and distinct personality, which is perfectly in line with a club like Chelsea - after all, the Blues have just won the Club World Cup."

"Chelsea is now at its peak, and it is crucial to work hard for the club and live up to the expectations of fans. I watched the Club World Cup, and it is so special to join the World Championship team - this means It makes us the best team in the world! "

"It is not common to have so many playing experiences at my age, but these experiences have helped me a lot. I am only 21 years old and have accumulated rich experience in various games, different stadiums and critical moments."

Garacho joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid in 2020. After making his mark through the youth training camp, he made his debut for the Red Devils 144 appearances and scored 26 goals. He was once regarded as the future star of Manchester United - not only received guidance from his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, but also showed amazing strength in his youth.

But the conflict with Amorin left him with no way back and eventually signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea. The Blues showed interest in him as early as January this year, when his agents Carlos Campbell and Keeke DeLucas appeared at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea believes that £40 million is a good deal, given Garnacho's age and potential. Next, he will compete with Pedro Neto, Jamie Gittens, Tyrik George, Estewan and others for the starting position under Maresca.
