Alejandro Garnacho has been lambasted for his display in Chelsea’s costly 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa and fans of his former club, Manchester United, have shown no mercy with their responses.

Garnacho wanted out of Man Utd over the summer and only had eyes for Chelsea. The transfer saga dragged and dragged, but in the end, the Argentina international did complete a £40m move to Stamford Bridge.

Garnacho has returned figures of four goals and two assists in 18 matches for the Blues so far. He’s been a regular starter in recent weeks in the Premier League, though that has coincided with Chelsea enduring a run of just one win in six matches that has quickly shut down talk of a title charge.

Garnacho got the nod to start once again against Aston Villa on Sunday, and despite the Blues taking the lead, it was Villa who emerged victorious to extend their incredible winning streak in all competitions to 11 games.

It was a particularly painful defeat for Chelsea who now sit three points outside of the top four and a hefty 10 points behind Villa. Failure to qualify for next year’s Champions League could only be classified as disastrous for Enzo Maresca and co.

Garnacho was by no means Chelsea’s worst player on the day, though the end result and his sub-par display has been met with the exact type of response you’d expect from fans of his former club.

Taking to X, one Man Utd fan declared: “Getting rid of Garnacho for Cunha is actually the biggest upgrade in football history.”

Another posted: “As a rival fan, there’s a special joy you get when Chelsea are attacking and the ball gets to Garnacho.”

A third added: “So often, I’ve watched Man United sell players and thought ‘we shouldn’t have done that’. Alejandro Garnacho isn’t one of them.”

The panning didn’t stop there, and a selection of the best of the rest can be found below.
