Recent reports suggest that Alejandro Garnacho's departure from Manchester United was not without internal conflict, with three senior players reportedly attempting to intervene before the transfer was finalized. The Argentine winger's exit, which saw him join Chelsea in a deal worth £40 million plus a 10% sell-on fee, was preceded by a breakdown in his relationship with United's manager, Ruben Amorim.

Garnacho's talent was undeniable, but his attitude and discipline were frequently questioned. He had a series of issues, including turning up late for team meetings during a summer tour and failing to meet the manager's training expectations. Amorim's arrival at Manchester United further strained the relationship, as the manager felt that Garnacho was "petulant, self-absorbed," and unwilling to follow tactical instructions.

The breaking point appeared to be the Europa League final against Tottenham in May, where Garnacho was only brought on as a substitute in the 71st minute. This decision led to public criticism from Garnacho and his brother, Roberto, who felt that the player had been unfairly treated. Amorim ultimately decided that Garnacho's attitude was detrimental to the team and endorsed the decision to let him leave.

Despite the manager's stance, it seems that some senior players at Manchester United recognized Garnacho's potential and attempted to mediate the situation. However, their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and the club decided to proceed with the transfer. It's understood that Garnacho also expressed his desire for a "different thing with a different leadership".

Garnacho is now with Chelsea, signing a 7-year contract. His departure has been met with mixed reactions from Manchester United fans, some of whom appreciate his contributions to the club, while others believe that his attitude made his exit inevitable. Only time will tell if Garnacho can fulfill his potential at Chelsea and whether Manchester United will regret letting him go.
