Alejandro Garnacho's recent activity on TikTok has led fans to theorise that he is eyeing a move away from Chelsea, just one year after his £40 million transfer from Manchester United. The 21-year-old Argentine winger reposted a video showing the line-up from the 2024 FA Cup final, a match in which he played a key role for United in their 2-1 upset victory over Manchester City.
Struggles at Stamford Bridge
Since joining Chelsea last summer, Garnacho has struggled to make an impact, scoring only one Premier League goal and providing four assists. He spent much of the 2025/26 season as a backup to Pedro Neto, making just 14 starts for the Blues. Despite his move, his TikTok account—which has 6.2 million followers—remains filled with posts from his time at Manchester United, with no Chelsea content on his main feed, though he has reposted some videos of himself playing for the Blues.
Fan Reactions
Garnacho's latest repost has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. One fan commented, "He misses home," with a laughing emoji. Another said, "Dude want to come back to Man Utd by all means," while a third observed, "He's really missing the good old days." A fourth asked, "What's he trying to do?" and a fifth added, "Bring him back home." However, not all fans were welcoming, with one sarcastically stating, "No take backsies. Bye bye," and another venting, "The team he thought he was too good for."
Burned Bridges
Garnacho's exit from Manchester United was not without controversy. After a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League semi-final last May and a 15th-place Premier League finish, he told the media, "Obviously it's hard for everyone. Our season was s***. We didn't beat anyone in the league. We lacked a lot of things. When you don't score goals, you always need more. Until we reached the final, I played every round. And I played 20 minutes today – I don't know. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next."
What's Next for Garnacho?
With his future at Chelsea uncertain, fans and pundits alike are watching Garnacho's social media activity closely. Whether his nostalgic posts signal a desire to return to Old Trafford or simply a fondness for past glories remains to be seen.
