Garnacho Booed on Old Trafford Return as Chelsea Leave Ex‑United Winger Unused

His sale followed a dressing-room rupture with Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Manchester United fans jeered Alejandro Garnacho on arrival and during the warm-up, with hostile chants reported throughout his first visit since a £40m move.
  • Enzo Maresca had said he would consult the 21-year-old before selecting him and considered him ready, but early enforced changes left Garnacho an unused substitute.
  • Garnacho has made two Chelsea appearances off the bench and is yet to start since leaving United late in the summer window.
  • United inserted a 10% sell-on clause in the deal as part of the transfer to Chelsea.
  • Multiple outlets report his exit followed a breakdown with Amorim and that senior United players, including Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Harry Maguire, urged him to put the team first.
