Anger Flares at Old Trafford as Garnacho Portrait Defaced Amid Chelsea Switch

Alejandro Garnacho’s future at Manchester United seems over after his portrait was defaced outside Old Trafford once it became clear that he has preferred Chelsea. Reports confirm that Chelsea are in talks with Manchester United to sign Alejandro Garnacho this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“I am also very thankful to ‘El Mal Niñelar Graffiti’, who provided me some of the best match winning tips I’ve ever received in any cup run.” Garnacho is indeed frustrated with the lack of playing time under new United manager Ruben Amorim, which has fueled his desire for a transfer. Despite interest from several clubs, Garnacho does not want to join Besiktas and is determined to stay in the Premier League.

WHY ARE FANS UPSET?

On Friday night, Garnacho took to social media to challenge the way his move to Chelsea has been covered amid suggestions from Amorim and the club hierarchy that he had forced through a move. “For those who believe that we are the ones responsible for the departure of a manager and forcing our move away from Manchester United . . . you may keep believing what you want,” he wrote on Instagram. The Argentina international even capped a goal celebration against Vitoria this week with a mouth-zipping gesture that was believed to be aimed as a swipe at Amorim and rumors of his exit. Then Amorim claimed he does not feel an apology is necessary. According to recent updates, Garnacho has agreed to personal terms with Chelsea and is waiting for his transfer to go through.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

As of now, Garnacho is desperate to leave but is unable to join Chelsea, due to the club’s inability to guarantee him regular first-team appearances this term. United have made it clear that they do not want to keep the Argentina international, but the decision could eventually lie with the player. Chelsea are about to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The pressure is mounting behind the scenes, and Garnacho could be forced to change his mind over his long-term future if United reach the end of the season without a berth in next year’s Champions League.
