Alejandro Garnacho breaks silence on Old Trafford exit. The winger opened up about the tough ending to his Manchester United spell after shining for Chelsea in Europe.
Garnacho spoke about Old Trafford exit
Alejandro Garnacho’s final months at Manchester United were anything but smooth. The winger was once seen as the face of their future. He was left training apart from the main squad in what many fans called Amorim’s “bomb squad.”
Alongside big names like Rashford, Sancho and Antony, he found himself cast aside during the summer. He joined the academy at 16 and quickly became a fan favourite at Old Trafford. But, the fall was sharp.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Garnacho admitted it was a “bad moment in life.” Although, he stopped short of taking aim at United. Instead, he let his football do the talking with Chelsea. He completed a £40m move that has given him a fresh start.
New beginnings and early impact at Chelsea
At Chelsea, Enzo Maresca has been careful with Garnach. His first Chelsea start was a scrappy cup win at Lincoln City where he faced loud jeers.
But, against Benfica in the UCL, the player finally showed flashes of the fearless winger who broke through at Man Utd. His dangerous cross forced an own goal that handed the Blues a narrow win and spoiled Mourinho’s night.
Maresca hailed his contribution, making it clear Garnacho’s influence is growing in blue. At just 21, he has the stage to rebuild his reputation and silence the critics.
Author’s Opinion:
Alejandro Garnacho’s refusal to publicly slam former head coach Ruben Amorim says a lot about his maturity. The player’s football career is still young, but this West London chapter has provided him the ideal restart. If he stays focused on work, Man United’s loss can become Chelsea’s gain.
