In a shocking twist for Manchester United fans, rising star Alejandro Garnacho was let go in a surprising summer transfer, leaving many questioning co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision. The Argentine winger's departure could prove haunting for the Red Devils, reminiscent of the fallout from Cristiano Ronaldo's exit.

After an active transfer window, where Ratcliffe greenlit the arrival of key players like Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, the club also experienced significant player losses. Not only did Andre Onana, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford bid farewell to Old Trafford, but Garnacho also packed his bags for Chelsea in a staggering £40 million deal.

Garnacho's relationship with manager Ruben Amorim soured dramatically after he expressed disappointment over not starting in the Europa League final against Tottenham. Ultimately, Amorim ruled him out of his plans, and Ratcliffe echoed this decision, siding with the manager amidst the tension.

According to journalist Steve Bates, those close to Garnacho have revealed he was left ‘shocked’ by the quick sale, especially considering the backing from Ratcliffe and the club’s management after a fallout. While some praise Amorim for prioritizing team discipline, critics warn he may be 'playing with fire' by letting go of such a gifted young talent.

At just 21 years old, Garnacho has already made a name for himself, scoring 26 goals and providing 22 assists in 144 appearances for United. His potential is undeniable, and many speculate he may thrive at Chelsea, perhaps leaving Man Utd to regret parting ways.

This isn’t the first time United's management has prioritized a coach over a player, as seen during Cristiano Ronaldo's exit under Erik ten Hag. Following a highly publicized feud, Ronaldo's contract was terminated, leading to questions about the club’s decision-making.

Now, as United struggles to find consistency on the pitch, rumors are circulating that Amorim’s position may be at risk. His candid follow-ups after losses haven’t impressed management, with recent comments suggesting he won’t alter his approach. With fans anxious and results worrying, the pressure is on.

Garnacho's debut for Chelsea may not have been stellar, but he represents a young talent that could shine in the Premier League. As United fans look on, they can only hope that their managerial choices, and the decisions around young stars like Garnacho, don’t continue to backfire.

Meanwhile, the ongoing saga hints at deeper unrest within the club, as insiders share concerns about other players facing an uncertain future under Amorim’s tenure.

As Manchester United navigates these turbulent waters, only time will tell if backing Amorim over Garnacho was a wise decision or one that will come back to haunt them.
