Nicky Butt Blasts Garnacho as Chelsea Reject Sale Reports and No Bids Emerge

With no active bids, Chelsea’s backing cools talk of a quick exit.

Overview

  • Nicky Butt, speaking Tuesday on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, called Alejandro Garnacho’s attitude at Manchester United “a disgrace” and said selling him was the right move.
  • The winger’s tough outing against his former club — a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday — was followed by Luke Shaw’s Instagram post and playful replies from Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee that appeared to mock him.
  • After media reports suggested Chelsea could offload Garnacho after one season, head coach Liam Rosenior told reporters the 21-year-old remains in his plans and that his focus is on rebuilding the player’s form.
  • Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano said there are no bids or concrete talks for Garnacho at present and described the situation as cold.
  • Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United for about £40m last summer and has one Premier League goal in 22 appearances this season, leaving his role under scrutiny despite a long-term contract.
