Monday morning arrived with the surprising announcement from Manchester United, who dismissed Rúben Amorim as coach after the draw against Leeds, which left the team in sixth place in the Premier League standings, outside the qualifying spots for international cups and 17 points behind leaders Arsenal. Following the announcement on social media, one reaction stood out above the rest: that of Alejandro Garnacho.
The Argentine forward, who now plays for Chelsea, left the Red Devils in mid-2025 after a major conflict with the Portuguese manager, which went beyond private matters and became public. Now, the “Bichito,” who wants to earn his place back in the Argentina National Team, ‘liked’ the post by Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in transfer news and the one who broke the story.

After the defeat against Tottenham in the 2025 Europa League final, Garnacho spoke at a press conference and pointed fingers at Amorim for the lack of playing time. “Up until the final, I played every round, I helped the team. Today, to play 20 minutes… I don’t know,” he declared. The coach did not take his comments well and told him he would no longer be considered. “You’d better pray that you can find a club to buy you,” the Daily Mail reported he allegedly said. In the end, Chelsea bought him and he now shares a squad with Enzo Fernández and Facundo Buonanotte.
