“Although I scored a crucial goal for Chelsea to win yesterday, but there’s this particular Manchester United player that really came to my mind when I scored that goal, and I wish He was here with me yesterday to join me in the celebration” – Garnacho reveals the ONE Manchester United player he’s missing at the moment
Alejandro Garnacho may be living his dream in London, but his heart has certainly not forgotten Manchester. Following his vital goal for Chelsea in their thrilling victory yesterday, the Argentine winger stunned supporters with an emotional admission that quickly went viral. Instead of relishing in Chelsea’s glory, Garnacho admitted that in that moment of euphoria, his thoughts turned to one player who remains at Manchester United.
The 21-year-old, who completed a controversial move from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge this summer, revealed that scoring against rivals brought back a flood of memories. “Although I scored a critical goal for Chelsea to win yesterday, there was one Manchester United player who immediately sprang to mind as I scored. “I wish he was here with me yesterday to join me in the celebration,” Garnacho said.
The topic that has been circulating on social media is who this mysterious United player is that Garnacho so desperately misses.
The Bond that Never Broke
According to reports, Garnacho is referring to his close bond with Lisandro Martínez, his fellow Argentine and mentor during his early days at Manchester United. The pair formed a brotherly friendship both on and off the pitch, frequently practicing together, celebrating goals together, and swapping social media posts. According to sources close to Garnacho, Martínez was a significant impact in his development, and leaving him behind was the most difficult part of his Chelsea move.
However, other sources believe it could be Alejandro’s partner-in-crime, Kobbie Mainoo, who went through United’s academy with him. Both youths led the Red Devils through their most tough campaigns and were regarded as the “future of Old Trafford” before to Garnacho’s surprising departure.
Fans Go Wild with Speculation.
Chelsea supporters were ecstatic at Garnacho’s heroics, but United fans quickly took over the talk online. Many criticised the club for letting go of a generational talent too lightly, while others saw Garnacho’s statements as a clear indication that he still has strong feelings for United.
A supporter posted on Twitter: “This is not just about football, Garnacho still bleeds United red.”
A different person wrote: “Chelsea can have his goals, but his heart will always be at Old Trafford.”
A Subtle Message for Old Trafford?
While Garnacho did not mention the player directly, his statements may have a deeper meaning—a covert dig at United’s current status. With Manchester United floundering under Ruben Amorim and Garnacho excelling in a Chelsea jersey, the Argentine’s desire for his former comrade emphasises the divided atmosphere at Old Trafford, as opposed to the unity he once felt there.
What’s Next for Garnacho?
Chelsea fans will hope that his nostalgia does not detract from his new chapter in London, where he is already regarded as one of Enzo Maresca’s most vital players. But United fans will never forget this moment, and suspicion about his statements will continue to feed speculations about what may have happened if he had stayed at Old Trafford.
One thing is certain: Garnacho may be dazzling in blue, but he is still connected to the red side of Manchester.
