Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho says he has “no regrets” about leaving Manchester United

Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho (21) says he has “ no regrets ” about leaving Manchester United last summer, insisting his move to Stamford Bridge came at the right time in his career, as reported by Sky Sports .

Garnacho joined Chelsea in a £40m deal in August after falling out of favour under new United boss Ruben Amorim. The 21-year-old had pushed for an exit as it became clear he was no longer part of the club’s long-term plans, bringing an abrupt end to his time at Old Trafford.

Asked if he regretted how it all unfolded, Garnacho was blunt. “ No ,” he said. When pressed on whether he felt sad about the way his United spell ended, he gave the same answer: “ No .”

The Argentina international said he simply felt it was the right moment to move on. “ Sometimes in life you have to change things to take a step forward or improve as a player ,” he said. “ I think it was the right moment, also the right club. So it was an easy decision. ”

Garnacho has settled quickly at Chelsea and says he is focused only on his future in London rather than what he left behind.
