Alejandro Garnacho accused of using AI to create Man Utd exit statement after Argentine winger forces through deadline day transfer to Chelsea

Another product of the Red Devils’ fabled academy system has headed through the exits at Old Trafford, with Garnacho falling out of favour under Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim. Having been deemed surplus to requirements, the 21-year-old winger has linked up with Chelsea.

A £40 million ($54m) transfer has taken the Argentina international from the North West to west London, with a new Premier League challenge being embraced after 144 appearances and 26 goals for United.

Garnacho posted on social media when completing his switch to Stamford Bridge: “Dear Mánchester. After an unforgettable five years, this special chapter in my life now comes to a close. We have created moments that will stay with me forever, and I’m very grateful for this.

“To the coaches, staff, and my teammates, thank you for believing in me. Every time I wore the badge, I gave everything I had. I leave proud of what we achieved together and excited for what’s to come. Wishing the club nothing but success for the future, while I look forward to giving my all in the next chapter of my career.”

Said message has not gone down well with some supporters, as @Biggie_002 was quick to post: “Dear Manchester??? Aswr na A.I write this thing, very stupid boy.” @MelbourneBlokee added: “He didn’t write that. AI wrote that for him.”

@0xSirWilhelm went on to say “Thank u… PR Team of Garnacho” while @ManUtd_dentist said: “He should just f*ck off, he didn't write that.....@grok DID.” On a similar note, @Martinsu007 chimed in with: “He didn't even edit just pasted. But we get the message. Wishing you the best.”

Garnacho, who is looking to add to his collection of eight international caps when lining up alongside Lionel Messi for World Cup title holders Argentina, is in line to make his debut for Chelsea against neighbours Brentford on September 13.
