Amorim on Garnacho before Chelsea clash: "He’s not our player" | OneFootball

At the close of the market, Alejandro Garnacho achieved his goal and finally became a new player for Chelsea, leaving behind his stint at Manchester United after a disagreement with Rúben Amorim for having left him on the bench in the final of the past Europa League. Even so, the Portuguese coach was again asked about the Argentine, and his response was emphatic.

Chelsea visits Old Trafford this Saturday, in what will be Garnacho's return to what was his home for four years, but Amorim did not seem very pleased with the query: "Garnacho is not our player. I am focused on our players," he bluntly replied to the mention of the Argentine in a press conference.

"I am happy with the returns of Mason Mount and [Matheus] Cunha and that's where my focus is. For the rest, you should speak with the Chelsea coach," completed the Portuguese, who is in a critical situation having only added four points in the first four matches of the Premier League season and coming off a thrashing in the Derby against Manchester City.

There were 144 matches for Garnacho with the Manchester United jersey since his debut in 2022, in which he scored 26 goals and distributed 22 assists, while winning a Carabao Cup and an FA Cup.

Garnacho is happy to be at Chelsea The other side of the coin is Garnacho's perspective, who after making his debut in the Champions League with Chelsea, acknowledged being happy with the transfer: "I think it's a good club to continue growing. The way of playing is going to suit me very well too and I hope to grow in that club," he told ESPN after the defeat vs. Bayern Munich.
