Garnacho’s Manchester Goodbye & Chelsea Hello…
Alejandro Garnacho waved goodbye to Manchester United over the weekend by dancing over to Chelsea for a cool ÂŁ40 million. The 21-year-old winger skyrocketed through United’s ranks faster than popcorn in a microwave, only to end up warming the bench under Ruben Amorim’s watchful gaze. Despite his unceremonious end, Garnacho has paid a tribute to his old club with his Chelsea shirt number, choosing the nostalgic No. 49 to twirl on Stamford Bridge’s turf.
Ever the showman, Garnacho’s decision to choose No. 49 hints at a sly nod to his Manchester times when he didn’t quite catch the No. 7 spot—saved for Chelsea newcomer Mason Mount, who might as well be wearing a ‘king of the castle’ crown. Don’t be surprised if he and his new Blues’ buds travel north like a band of adventurers after the international break, set to play United on September 20.
