Only three years ago, in May 2022, Alejandro Garnaacho announced on the big stage when he applied a fantastic performance for Manchester United in our Victorious Fa Youth Cup final against Nottingham Forest. For a record-breaking presence of 67,492 fans in Old Trafford, the 17-year-old scored from the place and sealed the 3-1 victory with a different goal in injury time.
We had passed Ralf Rangnick for a rotten few months, so there was real joy in the stands that our youth team raise a cup, where Garnacho gave us some hope for the future.
“That boy could be in every stadium in the world and he didn’t care”, “ The U18 -Coach Travis Binnion of United then radiated. “That is his makeup. A few of them are like that and that is why they will have good careers.”
If someone had said that two years later he would score the opening goal against Manchester City in our FA Cup Final Victory, you could probably have believed it. Here was a young person with so much confidence in his own capacity, who played with an fearlessness where we had done according to their desire, so we hoped that he reached great heights.
That day in Wembley in 2024 was a reward for the terrible football that we should have watched in recent seasons. There were whispers in the press on the morning of the final that Erik ten Hag was about to be fired after the end of the 8th in the competition. It was difficult to see something beyond something, except for a repeat of the final of the previous year when City walked to us for the victory.
But with less than half an hour played, and united more than holding it, Diogo Dalot pushed the ball on the field in the direction of Garnacho. Josko Gvardiol towered the teenager, but Garnacho put him under pressure and forced the mistake of the defender who set up the opening goal. In the end it was just a simple slap for Garnacho, the reward for not giving up, and he ran to the city and stared at them and then kissed the badge.
But just over a year after that moment, Garnacho forces himself from the club after he started the Europa League final on the bench. Talking to the press after the game, he did not hide.
“It is clearly difficult for everyone,” he said. “This season has been shit. We have lost the final, we have not defeated anyone in the competition. It is very difficult. Until the final I played every round that the team helped, and today I play 20 minutes, I don’t know. The final will influence [my decision] But the entire season, the situation of the club. I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next. “
After almost left for Chelsea in the January window, it is no surprise that they are also for him this summer. Reports suggest that Garnacho has rejected an offer from Bayern Munich, since Chelsea is the only team he is interested in.
“He is a real talented boy,” Said Amorim at the start of the month. “I think it is clear that Garnacho wants something different with a different leadership.”
The problem is that Chelsea apparently is only willing to offer £ 25 million for the player who is worth £ 50 million as £ 50 million. Although we are under pressure because no one wants to keep a player who doesn’t want to be there, we are still in a good position. Garnacho is under contract until 2028, so we are not busy selling. As a graduate Academy we have no wasted value in him with the need to discharge, such as at Jadon Sancho and Antony. For the player it is a world cup year, so the clock ticks him.
Just like with Marcus Rashford, it is a really sad end to the United career of a player who had understood from the academy and had shown such a big promise. Wearing the Aston Villa shirt with the name and the number on the back of Rashford was such a childish reaction to his situation, so that it was made public what could be solved behind the scenes.
For some reason it always ends badly for Argentinees at United, and it is disturbing to think of the stick that our fans will give him when he will run around the old Trafford field in a Chelsea shirt in a few weeks. But it is clear that his relationship with Amorim has broken down and he will not play again for United.
The Ronaldo fanboy, who lived his dream to play next to his idol at United, but now seems to believe that he has outgrown us. From your doll then, Garnacho Lad.
