But unlike many of his teammates, he is having to bide his time for his breakthrough moment. The Argentine, 21, has struggled to make an impact amid the Chelsea squad at Stamford Bridge, amid transfer speculation and backlash for poor attacking returns and defensive lapses. Garnacho has started just seven of Liam Rosenior’s first 22 games in charge, with chances mainly in cup ties against lower-tier sides like Pafos, Charlton, Hull City and Wrexham. So what is the story with the winger, who joined for £40m from Manchester United last summer, and can he still fulfil his promise at Stamford Bridge? A fresh scheme in west London. Garnacho flatly replied “no” in December when questioned about regretting how he left Manchester United amid controversy. In a recent Premier League Productions interview, he expressed that he “loved” the club, cherished only positive memories from his stint there, and recalled netting a goal for them in the 2024 FA Cup final victory against Manchester City, who face Chelsea on Sunday. He also touched on the drama of his exit, noting, “I remember that, in the last six months, I was not playing like before at Manchester United.”
