Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho has rejected a move to Bayern Munich and wants only Chelsea
Last season proved to be disappointing for Manchester United. The team finished 15th in the Premier League and missed out on the trophy after losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final. The biggest blow was that the next season will have to be played without European competitions. Ruben Amorim took charge as manager in the middle of last season, but the effect of the change was not big.
The start of the new season was also not as expected. The 1-0 defeat in the opening match against Arsenal shocked the team, and after that, a 1-1 draw against Fulham made the situation more complicated. Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal gave the lead, but Emile Smith Rowe’s goal equalised everything. Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty, and Matheus Cunha’s shot hit the post. There were chances in every match, but victory still slipped away, and disappointment deepened.
Growing discussion on Alejandro Garnacho
Now the biggest discussion is on the future of Alejandro Garnacho. football.london has claimed that his talks with Chelsea are in the final stages, as they have long been linked to the attacker, and the player himself is desperate to go there. Reports also said that Bayern Munich recently spoke to his representatives, but they got the reply that Garnacho’s mind is stuck on Chelsea. His place looked uncertain since Amorim’s arrival. Initially, the 21-year-old struggled to fit into the 3-4-3 system as Amorim relies more on wing-backs for width.

However, Garnacho worked hard and made it to the starting eleven for 14 consecutive matches from March to May. During this time, it seemed that he had won the trust of Amorim, but in the Europa League final, the Argentine was left out of the starting team and got only 19 minutes of play.
The controversy increased further when he expressed his displeasure publicly. He was dropped for a game in December, which was described as a disciplinary matter, although Amorim later clarified that the decision was not based solely on that.
Amorim has also praised his talent several times and said that he is getting better at playing inside and taking on defensive responsibilities. However, new signings such as Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have made his path even more difficult. Garnacho’s story has been full of ups and downs, where hard work, disappointment and increasing competition have all been linked together.
The question now is whether United should sell Garnacho to Chelsea. As fans, we think Amorim has made it clear that there is no place for a player who does not fit into the system and discipline. Garnacho has made his anger public, and now he has also turned his mind away from Old Trafford.
In this situation, keeping him will further affect the atmosphere in the team. For United, a deal to Chelsea seems to be the right way to go as it will also meet the club’s need for money, and Garnacho’s also. Bayern Munich can try, but the player’s heart is where he wants to go, and that is Chelsea.
Questions will be raised about Amorim’s management style, but the truth is that in times of great change, some talented players are sacrificed. Garnacho has no future at United, and the only way out is to sell him. It would be better for us if he had moved to the Bundesliga, as that would have reduced the direct threat, but nothing can be finalised against a player’s will. Meanwhile, Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund is closing in on a move to Napoli.
