Overview

• Alejandro Garnacho posted, “Thanks for everything you did for me, I love you,” alongside a photo with Bruno Fernandes on Instagram.
• Garnacho left Manchester United for Chelsea in a £40 million deal completed at the end of August.
• Reporting attributes his exit to a breakdown in relations at United, including his public questioning of Ruben Amorim’s Europa League final decision.
• The 21-year-old missed most of pre-season and trained alone, is building fitness at Chelsea, and was not called up by Argentina for the current break.
• He could make his first Chelsea appearance soon, with reports suggesting a possible debut against Brentford, and he and Fernandes had previously combined for 10 goals across 132 matches together.
