Alejandro Garnacho removes Chelsea content from TikTok ahead of Manchester United clash
Alejandro Garnacho has wiped all Chelsea-related content from his TikTok account just days before facing Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, reports BritPanorama.
The Argentina international’s profile now features only four videos, all highlighting his time at Old Trafford. Garnacho took an additional step by sharing a clip from a United supporter account, paying tribute to his spell with the Red Devils.
Saturday’s Premier League fixture will mark Garnacho’s first encounter with his former club since completing a £40 million switch to west London last August. The winger signed a seven-year deal with Chelsea, lasting until 2032.
In a recent interview, Garnacho expressed mixed feelings about his departure from Manchester United. “Maybe yes, because I loved that club,” he remarked, noting the support he received during his development at the club.
Despite this, Garnacho has acknowledged his part in the challenges faced during his time at United, where he admitted to having reacted poorly when his playtime diminished. He stated, “I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before at Manchester United.” Such reflections come as Chelsea are reportedly seeking to bolster their forward options ahead of the summer transfer window.
Currently, the winger has faced difficulties at Chelsea, having made only 14 Premier League starts this season, netting a single league goal and accumulating eight goals and four assists across 38 appearances in all competitions. His decision to remove Chelsea-related content from social media could highlight a turbulent period for the club, which continues to grapple with squad discipline and consistency.
Meanwhile, reports from Argentina suggest River Plate are monitoring Garnacho’s situation closely, with manager Eduardo Coudet reaching out to discuss a potential loan deal. Should Chelsea decide to take action concerning Garnacho’s online activity, it could complicate his prospects further.
As the anticipation builds for the clash at Stamford Bridge, Garnacho’s journey thus far serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities faced by young talents navigating the pressures of top-flight football.
