Garnacho now regrets leaving MU.

In the early hours of February 22nd, Chelsea's frustrating 1-1 draw against Burnley once again showcased the heartbreaking "disappearance" of Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho has been a frequent substitute recently.

Sadly, the Argentinian winger has literally "disappeared" from the game, not being given a single minute of playing time by the manager. Ironically, at this moment, the most attention-grabbing news about Garnacho in the press isn't about his dribbling skills or goals, but rather about his off-field life.

The young man seems to be getting more attention thanks to his new girlfriend, Adriana Lobaz, who frequently causes a stir on social media with videos showing off her figure in bikinis. The stark contrast between a tumultuous personal life and a lackluster performance on the pitch only makes his fans feel more disillusioned.

The £40 million signing ends up on the bench.

From a bright rising star at Manchester United, Garnacho has gradually faded and disappeared from London's personnel plans. While other former Red Devils players like Antony, Mason Greenwood, and Rasmus Hojlund are experiencing a strong resurgence in new ventures, Garnacho is sliding into disappointment. It's time for the 2004-born striker to seriously consider leaving England to salvage a career that is showing signs of reaching a dead end.

Garnacho's absence in the match against Burnley reflects a harsh reality about his current position at Chelsea. In the last two Premier League games, Garnacho has been completely forgotten on the bench. Looking more broadly at the last eight rounds, the situation is even more dire, with the former Manchester United star missing five of them.

In the three rare matches he was brought on, he only played a minor, insignificant supporting role, most notably the lifeless 29 minutes against Wolves. The last time fans saw Garnacho play a full 90 minutes in England's toughest league was before the Christmas break, in the 2-2 draw against Newcastle on December 22, 2025.

Garnacho is no longer given many opportunities at Chelsea.

The "cold shoulder" that the Chelsea coaching staff has shown towards Garnacho is actually not difficult to understand if you look at the professional statistics. Since moving to London at the beginning of the season for a price of up to £40 million, his contribution to the "Blues'" attack has been a mere 1 goal and 3 assists. This is an extremely poor performance compared to the 900 minutes he has been given the opportunity to play. For comparison, these statistics are far worse than his explosive 2022/23 season when he was just starting out in the Manchester United first team.

Back then, in just 563 minutes across 19 appearances, the youngster managed to leave his mark with 3 goals and 2 assists. Chelsea even patiently gave him the full 90 minutes in an FA Cup match against a much weaker opponent, Hull City. Although his team scored 4 goals in that game, Garnacho failed to contribute to any of them, exposing an alarming decline in form and ball control.

What escape route is there for those who have left Old Trafford?

Garnacho's dramatic decline at Chelsea has surprised and saddened many football experts. This becomes an even more perplexing paradox when compared to his former teammates at Old Trafford. Many stars who left Man Utd, such as Antony, Mason Greenwood, and striker Rasmus Hojlund, are now shining brightly, or at least showing a much more positive side than during their time under pressure at the Red Devils.

Garnacho should call Antony right now to ask for advice.

This paradox leads to a very realistic hypothesis: Garnacho's playing style seems to have no place in the Premier League anymore. His speedy dribbles down the wing and then cutting inside, which were once his sharpest weapon in his early days, have now been thoroughly studied and completely neutralized by the shrewd defenders in England.

The football environment in England demands constant evolution in terms of tactical thinking and physical prowess, something Garnacho is clearly showing signs of stagnation in. If even a complex and patient system like Manchester United's, which focuses on young players, couldn't retain and develop Garnacho's talent, it's hard to believe any other club in England could do a better job at this point.

It's time for Garnacho to put aside his past glories and reassess his career path. Perhaps the first thing the Argentinian striker should do right now is pick up the phone and call his old teammates like Antony or Greenwood. Their valuable experience in leagues with completely different styles and pressures than in Europe might just be the key to freeing his shackled feet.
