The Argentina international left Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge after falling out with United manager Ruben Amorim.
After breaking into the first team under Erik Ten Hag in 2022, Garnacho established himself as an integral part of the United squad.
However, he was deemed surplus to requirements after publicly criticizing the manager following United’s defeat in the UEFA Europa League final last season.
This led to the player being sold to United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea for a cut-price fee in the summer.
However, the move has not gone down well with large sections of the United fan base, and now a former United star has shared his opinion on the move.

Teddy Sheringham describes Alejandro Garnacho’s move to Chelsea as “disappointing”
Teddy Sheringham is not happy with Alejandro Garnacho’s departure to Chelsea and has made his feelings known.
Speaking to the Metro, the former United striker said: “I think Alejandro Garnacho is a very talented player, but only time will tell if he can be successful at Chelsea.”
“He will have been disappointed not to have come off the bench in the game at Old Trafford. He made a great move to leave Manchester United for Chelsea, and it’s not something I would have advised him to do if I were part of his team.
“When you’re at United, you have to do everything you can to make it work. It’s the biggest club in the world, so you’re not going to go to a better club, and the opportunity to come back won’t be there, especially with the way he left and the way the fans reacted.”
While Sheringham is correct in his assessment of Garnacho’s move to the Blues, the player has time on his side.
Regardless of how things ended at United, Garnacho has the ability and time to establish himself as a top player at Stamford Bridge.
But he’ll have to control his fickle attitude to be successful in his new home.
