Alejandro Garnacho’s Chelsea Start Highlights Work Ethic After £40m Move

Early signs point to a hard-working addition for Enzo Maresca.

Overview

  • The 21-year-old completed a £40 million switch from Manchester United late in the window after a reported fallout with manager Ruben Amorim.
  • Following an August 2024 win over Fulham, he set up Joshua Zirkzee’s winner then reportedly visited Manchester’s NAS Elite centre for post-match recovery work.
  • After his first session at Cobham, he told club media he “can’t move my legs now” and that he “sprinted in the last one.”
  • Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni left him out of the latest squad, giving him extra time to integrate during the international break.
  • Former United midfielder Paul Scholes publicly backed the signing, saying Garnacho will be good for Chelsea.
