Tensions escalated in the Chelsea dressing room following a 0-1 defeat against Manchester United. During the interval, London club players reportedly confronted teammate Alejandro Garnacho, expressing dissatisfaction with his poor performance against his former club. The Argentine winger entered the pitch in the 16th minute to replace the injured Estevao but failed to make a significant impact throughout the match. Goal.com reports on the incident.
Garnacho's performance drew criticism not only for his attacking play but also for his defensive contributions. Specifically, he failed to track Bruno Fernandes, which allowed the Manchester United captain to provide the assist for Matheus Cunha's winning goal. On the field, team leader Cole Palmer was seen reprimanding Garnacho several times. It was noted that the young player lost possession a total of 15 times during the match.
Manchester United players, meanwhile, celebrated the victory over their former teammate on social media. Luke Shaw posted a photo of a confrontation with Garnacho on his Instagram page, which was liked by players including Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, and Mason Mount. According to reports, the Mancunians view his current struggles as a form of justice after Garnacho left the club for London in a £40 million deal following a fallout with Ruben Amorim.
Chelsea has now failed to score in five consecutive matches, marking the club's worst run since 1912. Garnacho, who has scored only 8 goals in 40 appearances, has been excluded from the starting lineup in the last six matches. The London club's management is reportedly considering the option of selling the young player during the summer transfer window.
