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 player for Chelsea, leaving behind his time at Manchester United after a disagreement with Rúben Amorim for having left him on the bench in the final of the last Europa League. Even so, the Portuguese coach was asked again about the Argentine, and his response was blunt.

Chelsea visits Old Trafford this Saturday, which 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 am focused on our players,” he replied harshly when the Argentine was mentioned at the press conference.

“I am happy with the returns of Mason Mount and [Matheus] Cunha, and that is where my focus is. For everything else, you should speak with the Chelsea coach,” added the Portuguese, who finds himself in a critical situation after having gained only four points in 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 wearing the Manchester United jersey since his debut in 2022, in which he scored 26 goals and provided 22 assists, while also winning a Carabao Cup and an FA Cup.

Garnacho expressed happiness about being at Chelsea On the other hand, Garnacho, after making his Champions League debut with Chelsea, acknowledged being happy with the transfer: “I think it is a good club to keep growing. The style of play will suit me very well too, and I hope to grow at this club,” he confided to ESPN after the defeat against Bayern Munich.
