Alejandro Garnacho could face Manchester United for the first time since leaving this weekend – but does he wish he was still at the club?
Garnacho joined Chelsea from the Red Devils in a £40million transfer last August, signing a seven-year contract until the end of the 2031-32 season.
Chelsea host United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night in what looks to be an interesting fixture for Garnacho judging by his recent social media activity.
The Argentina international has deleted all the Chelsea posts from his TikTok account, with the only four remaining videos dating from his time at their Premier League rivals.
Garnacho didn’t stop there though, reposting a Manchester United fan paying tribute to him in a reflective video.
The 21-year-old’s actions come in the wake of a report suggesting that Chelsea are looking to strengthen in his position this summer.
According to The Telegraph, ‘Chelsea are still looking for a forward who can play off the left’ – which could prove ominous for Garnacho.

On his actual account, Garnacho has just four videos – which are all from his Man United days
Since signing for the Blues, Garnacho has gone on to make 38 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing four assists.
On Friday, the winger opened up about leaving United – admitting his exit ‘hurt’ after a series of clashes with the club – that he seemingly now regrets – before his move.
He fell out with then-head coach Ruben Amorim after publicly revealing his frustration at only being brought on as a late substitute in United’s dismal Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May. His brother Roberto also stoked the fire by posting a message on social media criticising the head coach for throwing Garnacho ‘under the bus’.
Daily Mail Sport reported in June that the winger was among five United players given permission to delay their return to training while they looked for new clubs. Garnacho is understood to have been told to move on by Amorim in front of his team-mates, and he eventually did that.
Before he left United, meanwhile, he posted a picture of himself wearing an Aston Villa shirt with the name of Marcus Rashford on – his former United team-mate who was also out of favour under Amorim.
His actions didn’t go down well with fans, but he has now…
