Alejandro Garnacho's career struggles after Manchester United exit continue

Alejandro Garnacho's professional trajectory has faced significant challenges since his departure from Manchester United. After scoring two goals in the FA Youth Cup final for United, Garnacho fell out of favor and was sold to Chelsea in the summer of 2025, where he scored eight goals in 43 appearances. Currently on loan at Aston Villa, he has faced difficulties securing playing time, being told by manager Unai Emery that he is 'behind' in the depth chart. Garnacho's form has seen him struggle to make an impact, with limited minutes in the Premier League and being left on the bench recently against Coventry. His performance issues have also led to exclusion from Argentina's World Cup squad for 2026.
