Manchester United denies targeting Garnacho, the real attitude in the locker room exposed! Chelsea teammates angrily scolded him during halftime.

In Chelsea's recent two matches, Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho has become the center of attention, unfortunately in a negative way. Especially in the 0-1 home loss to his former club, Garnacho was easily bypassed by Bruno Fernandes, who then provided the winning assist. The Sun reported that during halftime, Chelsea teammates verbally attacked Garnacho.

Chelsea officially denies that any player was singled out for criticism during halftime. However, after conceding the goal, the scene where Chelsea's core player Palmer publicly reprimanded Garnacho was witnessed by viewers worldwide and is an undeniable fact.

Garnacho replaced injured Estevão in the 16th minute, yet amid the boos from Manchester United fans, he failed to perform effectively. Not only was he responsible for the defensive lapse leading to the goal, but in attack he was repeatedly dispossessed by former teammates. Diogo Dalot was showcased as the Premier League's top right-back thanks to him, while Mazraoui, Casemiro, and Luke Shaw repeatedly tackled him down.

Statistics show that the 21-year-old Garnacho lost possession 15 times in this match. This continues his disappointing form following his £40 million transfer, with rumors suggesting Chelsea plans to offload him this summer.

When Manchester United players celebrated their victory at Stamford Bridge post-match, there were subtle digs at Garnacho. Luke Shaw posted a photo of him flipping Garnacho over, with Bruno Fernandes, Dalot, Cunha, Eden Haven, Lisandro Martinez, Zirkzee, Patrick Doku, Mason Mount, and other Red Devils players liking or commenting.

The club's official social media account itself compiled clips of Mazraoui, Dalot, and Casemiro tackling Garnacho. However, insiders insist that most Manchester United players harbor no ill will towards Garnacho and are not targeting him. They emphasize that post-match, many United players also shook hands with this former teammate, especially his close friends Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo, who remain closely connected—Amad even exchanged shirts with Garnacho in the first leg.

But naturally, there are also those who dislike Garnacho. Casemiro appeared displeased when fans displayed the Red Devils' No. 17 jersey and refused to sign it. The Sun reported that Garnacho's controversial actions before leaving Manchester United last season left many Red Devils players weary, and his approach during his transfer pursuit also drew criticism from some. Garnacho and his brother confronted Amorim after a Europa League match and later wore Rashford's No. 9 jersey from his Aston Villa days.

Therefore, teammates were pleased at the time that Amorim excluded the "Five Rats" from the locker room and preseason to maintain team harmony. Arsenal, Tottenham, and Atlético Madrid were once interested in Garnacho, but after investigating the behind-the-scenes details, decided against signing him.

Since joining Chelsea, Garnacho has scored 8 goals in 40 matches, but he has not started in the last six games. On Tuesday, Chelsea suffered a 3-0 away defeat to Brighton, with Garnacho substituted on when the team was trailing 0-1 at halftime, and the loss worsened.

Rosénier, before his dismissal, once defended Garnacho, but the coaching change now makes the Argentine winger's future even more unpredictable. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said: "Over the past two or three days, we've seen many reports about Garnacho, with claims that Garnacho will leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window."

Regarding Garnacho's future, Romano believes Chelsea's results and European qualification could have a significant impact. "From what I understand, Chelsea's transfer market strategy might include adding a winger to the squad for the 2026/27 season. However, before discussing Chelsea's roster, plans, departures, and signings, we must first understand several things, especially Champions League qualification. The Champions League is crucial for Chelsea, vital for Chelsea's plans, perspectives, and philosophy."

Manchester United holds a 10% sell-on clause for Garnacho's secondary transfer. If he is sold by Chelsea, the Red Devils will also gain some benefit. From this perspective, Manchester United hopes Garnacho's situation improves and his selling price is higher.
