THE BIGGER PICTURE
Garnacho had been linked with Chelsea for some time after being told - alongside Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia - that he was not part of United manager Ruben Amorim’s plans for the 2025-26 season.
WHAT GARNACHO SAID
Speaking to Chelsea's official club website, Garnacho expressed his delight at securing his move, saying: "It’s an incredible moment for my family and I to join this great club. I can’t wait to get started. I watched the Club World Cup and to join the world champions is special – we’re the best team in the world! It’s amazing to be here and I’m very happy."
DID YOU KNOW?
Emerging through United’s youth academy, Garnacho made his senior debut for the club in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the Premier League in April 2022. He then became a regular in the United first team, helping the Red Devils win the Carabao Cup in 2022-23 and the FA Cup in 2023-24 under Erik ten Hag’s stewardship. However Garnacho endured a difficult relationship with current United boss Amorim, with the winger being omitted - alongside Rashford - from the matchday squad which faced rivals Manchester City in the derby in December 2024.
