Once adored by Manchester United fans, Alejandro Garnacho's swift decline has shocked many, especially following his recent return to Old Trafford with Chelsea.

This past weekend, Garnacho experienced a humiliating homecoming, as Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat. Shockingly, Garnacho didn’t even make it off the bench during the match, despite manager Enzo Maresca opting for five substitutions.

Transferred to Chelsea for a whopping £40 million after losing his position under Ruben Amorim, Garnacho’s fall from grace was compounded by his social media antics, which frustrated United supporters.

Upon his arrival at Old Trafford, the fans made their disdain clear, repurposing an old ‘anti-Carlos Tevez’ chant to unleash a storm of insults directed at the Argentine, illustrating just how far Garnacho has fallen.

Argentina's Reaction: Major Outcry Over Garnacho's Welcome

Meanwhile, Argentina has been watching Garnacho closely since he chose to represent the nation. His tumultuous return has dominated headlines back home, making waves in the national press.

El Grafico remarked, “The reception he received from those who once cheered his every move was nothing short of hostile. Particularly hurtful chants echoed throughout the stadium.”

La Nueva observed that Garnacho attempted to blend in, donning a jacket and hoodie, but he was met with immediate rebuke.

In a dramatic turn of events, MDZ Online noted, “His mere presence electrified the crowd, transforming the atmosphere. The very fans who once celebrated his talents now harshly criticized him.

Diario Uno condemned the negativity, stating, “He became the focal point of the match, facing relentless harassment and severe insults.”

What's Next for Garnacho?

Unless an unexpected FA Cup meeting occurs in 2026, Garnacho’s next appearance at Old Trafford is set for next season. Until then, he will have the opportunity to face off against United once again when they visit Stamford Bridge later this season.

With such a turbulent backdrop, Garnacho’s future in the Premier League promises to be anything but mundane.
