Former Man United academy coach rips into ‘stand-off-ish’ Garnacho Former Manchester United midfielder and academy manager Nicky Butt has ripped into Chelsea attacker Alejandro Garnacho. The 21-year-old Chelsea winger is coming off a poor performance against his former club, Manchester United, at Stamford Bridge. After the terrible showing in West London, his former Manchester United teammates seemed to take digs at him on social media.
He fell out with the club on a few occasions and endured an acrimonious departure. He has also started causing quite the fuss at Chelsea. The Argentine recently deleted all Chelsea-related posts on his TikTok before uploading posts of Man Utd fans calling for his return.
Butt has given a first-hand account of Garnacho’s character, and it makes for grim reading, especially for Chelsea. Butt told The Good, The Bad & The Football , “I was academy manager at the time, and he signed in a deal where they also signed Alvaro (Fernandez). “Garnacho was always a bit stand-off-ish.
He had a high opinion of himself. “I thought he had an edge about him. And when he got into the first team – I will just say what I think because I was there – he got above his station way too quick.
