Manchester United fans have reacted to comments Alejandro Garnacho has made after he joined Chelsea before deadline day.
Chelsea signed Man United’s Garnacho for £40million this summer to bring an end to the Argentina ace’s controversial time at Old Trafford.
In the 144 games he played for United, the 21-year-old scored 26 goals and assisted 22, but he has now started a new chapter with Chelsea.
Garnacho‘s first interview as a Blue has naturally attracted a lot of attention from angry Manchester United supporters, who have all spotted the same thing.

After joining Chelsea, Garnacho was asked about how he felt after the move and described the switch as a “good step” for his career and family.
But it was his comments on supporting Chelsea as a child that sparked an online response from United fans.
“I used to watch the Premier League when I was young and Chelsea because I liked Eden Hazard,” he told Sky Sports.
“That’s why I support Chelsea a bit.
I wore the kit because I like football.”

Another replied: “Confessing this now is like a comedy to me.
I guess it’s because the move happened.”
Meanwhile, a couple of fans wish for more transparency from players signing for new clubs in general.
