Gary Neville has shared his concerns for former Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho after the Argentine endured a tough match for Chelsea against West Ham on Saturday. The 21-year-old made the switch to Stamford Bridge this summer in a £40million transfer – which includes a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
The forward became United’s fourth-biggest departure in club history in terms of his transfer fee – behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel Di Maria. Garnacho has made 26 appearances fo far for Chelsea – scoring six goals.
But the Argentina international struggled badly against the Hammers, having been partly blamed for his team going 2-0 down at half-time. And ex-Reds captain-turned-pundit Neville has explained on the Gary Neville podcast why Garnacho’s performance was crucial to his team facing a shock home loss to their relegation-threatened opponents before they came back to win 3-2.
He said: “In the first half, I have to say that West Ham were absolutely fantastic. They dominated the game, even though they didn’t dominate possession; they dominated the game.

“They had the best chances, they were more physical, and that left side of Chelsea was obliterated. Alejandro Garnacho is a player that divides opinion, I think, at times.
