Overview
- Alejandro Garnacho struggled in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge and failed to close down Bruno Fernandes before the assist for Matheus Cunha.
- His Chelsea return stands at one Premier League goal in 22 games since a £40m move from Manchester United last summer.
- Former United academy chief Nicky Butt on Tuesday called Garnacho’s past attitude at Old Trafford a disgrace and said selling him was the right decision.
- Butt pointed to posts from ex-teammates after the match as evidence of how he left a poor impression in the United dressing room.
- Reports have suggested Chelsea are open to selling him this summer, but head coach Liam Rosenior rejected that talk and said the 21-year-old remains in his plans.
