Manchester United only moved Alejandro Garnacho on to Chelsea last summer in a £40m move, but the Argentine already looks to be eyeing another transfer
Football fans have claimed that Alejandro Garnacho “misses home” after reposting a TikTok relating to Manchester United despite moving to Chelsea last summer. The 21-year-old secured a £40million move to Stamford Bridge during the business end of the transfer window, after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim.
However, the Argentina international has failed to make much of a mark in west London since his arrival, bagging just a single Premier League goal and four assists since his arrival. Instead, Garnacho spent a large part of 2025/26 playing second fiddle to Pedro Neto, making just 14 appearances in the club’s starting XI.
Despite no longer playing for United, the winger’s TikTok account – which boasts 6.2m followers – continues to be made up of posts relating to his time at the club. There also is not a single Chelsea post in sight on his main feed, although he has reposted a number of videos of him representing the Blues.
His latest repost, however, has fans speculating that he is homesick away from Greater Manchester. Garnacho recently took to the social media platform to re-share a photo of the line-up from the 2024 FA Cup final displayed in flags.
It’s a match that Garnacho played a huge part in as United secured a shock 2-1 upset at Manchester City, alongside the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay, to name a few.
As a result of the bizarre and untimely post, a number of fans have speculated on social media whether it could be a sign that Garnacho misses his former club at present. In the replies section of a post about the video shared to X, one person wrote: “He misses home,” with a laughing emoji.
Another said: “Dude want to come back to Man Utd by all means,” while a third observed: “He’s really missing the good old days.”
A fourth asked: “What’s he trying to do?” while a fifth commented: “Bring him back home.”
However, not all fans were so willing to welcome Garnacho back with open arms considering how his exit from United played out. One sarcastically said: “No take backsies. Bye bye,” while a second vented: “The team he thought he was too good for.”
It seems as though Garnacho burned his bridges before leaving Old Trafford, lashing out at his team’s performances – especially after missing out on the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking to the media in the aftermath of that 1-0 loss last May, as well as a 15th-place Premier League finish, the forward said: “Obviously it’s hard for everyone. Our season was s***.
“We didn’t beat anyone in the league. We lacked a lot of things. When you don’t score goals, you always need more. Until we reached the final, I played every round.
“And I played 20 minutes today – I don’t know. I’m going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens next.”
