There is no doubt that Garnacho views his breakthrough years as the most memorable of his career so far. Nevertheless, it is a questionable decision to show sentiment towards his past at United so soon after a public falling-out with the club and its head coach Ruben Amorim. Garnacho will hope to invoke the spirit of 2022-23, when he looked to have the world at his feet aged 18, as he settles into life at Stamford Bridge.
ChelseaWHAT NEXT FOR GARNACHO?
Garnacho will know as well as anyone that this is a big year for his career. Not only does he have a new club, manager and set of fans to impress, but it is a World Cup year and the new Blues star will dream of representing Argentina on the world stage for the first time in the USA, Canada and Mexico. He will hope to achieve a lot in his new No.49 shirt at Stamford Bridge, playing for a side he proclaims to be the "world's best".
