Alejandro Garnacho slammed for ‘disgraceful’ attitude at Man United

  • Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has labelled Alejandro Garnacho's attitude during his time at Old Trafford a "disgrace".
  • Butt stated on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast that selling Garnacho to Chelsea for £40m last summer was the best decision the club could have made.
  • Garnacho, 21, has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea since his transfer and failed to impress against his former club on Saturday.
  • Social media activity from former United teammates, including Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes, appeared to corroborate Butt's criticism following Saturday’s match.
  • Butt, who previously held academy and first-team development roles at United, suggested Garnacho "got above his station way too quick" and would have been disciplined by older players in his era.
