Overview

• Alejandro Garnacho left Manchester United for Chelsea after a rupture with manager Rubén Amorim that led to his exclusion from the squad.
• Since joining Chelsea, he has only featured off the bench, debuting at 80 minutes against Brentford and later entering on 68 minutes in a loss to Bayern Munich.
• Maresca praised Garnacho’s adaptation to Chelsea’s style and said he considers the winger ready to start.
• The move was reported at around $50 million, capping a four-season United stint with 26 goals and 22 assists in 144 appearances.
• His potential first start comes in Saturday’s Premier League visit to Old Trafford, with United struggling early in the campaign under Amorim.
