Alejandro Garnacho, who joined Chelsea for £40m on a seven-year deal, is set to face Manchester United at Old Trafford after the international break. The 21-year-old winger was dropped by Ruben Amorim before his transfer and will aim to prove a point. Chelsea remain unbeaten in their last three meetings with United.
As the international break nears its end, all eyes are on Alejandro Garnacho ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford on September 20. The 21-year-old Argentine winger left United this summer in a surprise £40m transfer to Chelsea, signing a seven-year deal. Once a regular under Ruben Amorim, Garnacho was unexpectedly benched for the Europa League final and later dropped from the squad altogether.
He missed United’s pre-season tour of the United States, which opened the door for Chelsea to secure his services at a reduced fee. Garnacho’s switch promises an emotional return to Old Trafford. The winger, known for his one-on-one ability and fearless attacking style, is expected to be central to Enzo Maresca’s plans in west London. Garnacho has spoken of his “winning mentality” and excitement to play alongside Enzo Fernandez, who had been urging him to join Chelsea.
While he is likely to face a hostile reception from United supporters, the youngster insists he has the personality and experience to thrive under pressure. Chelsea head into the contest unbeaten in their last three meetings with United, winning two and drawing one. With Garnacho eager to make a statement, the fixture already carries the feel of an explosive showdown.
