Alejandro Garnacho is already on the chopping block at Chelsea, but his latest potential destination sees life come full circle for him.
With every performance, Alejandro Garnacho has made that £40m fee look like a coup for Manchester United, and a pain for Chelsea.
The Blues are already willing to give up on the Argentine winger, and United will stand to benefit with a 10% sell-on clause.
As it turns out, that won’t be the only vindication Man Utd will get, as his antics from last summer come full circle now.
Will Man Utd ever REGRET selling Alejandro Garnacho?
Who was more to blame in this saga?
Alejandro Garnacho triggered Man Utd fans with Aston Villa shot
Garnacho was among the many players isolated from the first-team environment by Ruben Amorim last summer.
However, he was the only one who seemed intent on burning all bridges on the way out, be it through his public comments after the UEL final or his social media antics.
The antic that triggered Man Utd fans the most last summer was when he posted a picture of himself in an Aston Villa shirt while still contracted to Man Utd.
To make matters even more flammable, it was a shirt of Marcus Rashford, who was already in hot water with the fans.
Garnacho was using Rashford’s Villa shirt as a means to break ties with United, daring the club to sell him.
His stance of “Chelsea or I don’t play football for six months” was the final nail in the coffin on the series of antics that started after the UEL final.
A player wearing different club colours is hardly new, but it rarely happens within the same league, and it is even rarer for that kit to be of an iffy player on loan.
Garnacho’s intent was clear, and it enraged Man Utd fans. Life has come full circle for him now. What he did to trigger the fans could be his reality now.
Aston Villa interested in Garnacho transfer
Garnacho looked extremely keen on sporting a Villa kit last summer, and after a poor season at Chelsea, that could become his reality.
How would YOU feel if Man Utd had spent £117m on Morgan Rogers?
Which attacking player would you like to see United target this summer?
Life is coming full circle for the Argentine, as he is on the move again after just one season, and the sell of “potential” is quickly losing its shine.
Garnacho is still the same player who broke through at the club, just with a worse attitude, which is as bad a combo as it gets in senior football.
Villa are banking on Unai Emery to instil some discipline into the player if they move for him, but they will know that his attitude is a ticking time bomb.
In fact, nobody would know better than them. What will they do if Garnacho is wearing Brighton colours on social media next summer after failing to impress at Aston Villa?
He has a history of doing it!
