Garnacho says leaving Man Utd was an ‘easy decision’

Alejandro Garnacho says it was an “easy decision” to leave Man Utd and join Chelsea in the summer transfer window. 

The winger joined the Blues for a £40 million transfer fee in a deal that includes a ten per cent sell-on clause after falling out with Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim.

The 21-year-old has made 14 appearances in all competitions for the west London outfit this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

Asked whether he had any regrets over his Man Utd exit, Garnacho replied: “No.” Then asked whether he was sad how it finished, he again replied: “No.”

Garnacho added: “Sometimes in life you have to change things to maybe take a step forward or to improve as a player.

“I think it was the right moment, also the right club. So it was an easy decision.”

Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca praised the Argentina international while admitting he wants to see more from the player.

“He can give much more, but it’s not only Alejandro. I think all the players, we try to work every day with them to improve.

“It’s been easy to work with him because he wants to learn, has an open mind, and works hard on and off the ball. Some games he is better, some games he has struggled a little bit, but overall he is doing very well.”
