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

As the transfer window closed, Alejandro Garnacho achieved his goal and finally became a new Chelsea player, leaving behind his time at Manchester United after a falling out with Rúben Amorim for having left him on the bench in last season’s Europa League final. Even so, the Portuguese coach was once again asked about the Argentine, and his response was blunt.

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 question: “Garnacho is not our player. I’m focused on our players,” he replied sharply when the Argentine was mentioned during the press conference.

“I’m happy with the returns of Mason Mount and [Matheus] Cunha, and that’s where my focus is. For anything else, you’ll have to speak with Chelsea’s coach,” added the Portuguese, who finds himself in a critical situation after collecting just four points from the first four matches of the Premier League season and coming off a heavy defeat in the Derby against Manchester City.

Garnacho played 144 matches for Manchester United since his debut in 2022, scoring 26 goals and providing 22 assists, while also winning a Carabao Cup and an FA Cup.

Garnacho expressed his happiness to be at Chelsea On the other side of the coin is Garnacho, who, after making his Champions League debut with Chelsea, admitted he was happy with the transfer: “I think it’s a good club to keep growing. The style of play will suit me very well too, and I hope I can grow at this club,” he told ESPN after the defeat against Bayern Munich.
