Alejandro Garnacho risks Chelsea ban with suspicious TikTok behaviour

Alejandro Garnacho could be the latest Argentine to be sanctioned by Chelsea after engaging in cryptic social media activity.

The winger arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer in a £40million deal from Manchester United after falling out of favour with former Red Devils’ boss Ruben Amorim.

His time in west London hasn’t exactly gone to plan with game time at a premium.

Garnacho has started just seven games since Liam Rosenior’s arrival as Chelsea boss in January.

His opportunities have predominantly come in cup competitions while in higher-stakes fixtures, have the winger utilised from the bench.

Garnacho is yet to leave his mark at Stamford Bridge with fans yet to be sold on the signing.

It appears that the Argentine may have some regrets over his acrimonious Old Trafford exit judging by his social media activity.

Garnacho has removed all Chelsea videos from his TikTok account while reposting two Manchester United clips dedicated to him.

It comes just days after he conducted an interview about his Red Devils exit.

When asked if he regrets how it ended with the Red Devils, Garnacho said: “Maybe yes, because I loved that club. They gave me the confidence from the start.

“From Spain, to bring me to the academy, then they bring me to the first team. So it was like four or five years, and amazing love from everyone.”

He added: “I remember in the last six months I was just not playing like before at Manchester United. I started to be on the bench, it’s not a bad thing.

“I was only 20-years old, but in my mind it was like I had to play every game. In my mind, maybe it is also on me, I started to do some bad things.

“But yes, it was just this moment in life and sometimes you have to make decisions and I am really proud to be here [at Chelsea] and still in the Premier League at a club like this. Everyone knows the team we have and the things we can do.

“Sometimes, we have better moments or worse moments, I am proud to be here but with United, I have nothing wrong to say about the club, no one in the club or the team-mates.

“It’s just a moment in life that changes and life continues. I have no regrets.”

Precedent set?

Chelsea vice-captain Enzo Fernandez recently served an internal two-match ban after speaking about a possible move to Real Madrid during the international break.

The World Cup winner, who also questioned decisions made by the Blues hierarchy, was deliberately left out for the FA Cup victory over Port Vale and Premier League defeat to Manchester City.

However, Marc Cucurella escaped disciplinary action despite his own damning comments about the club.
