Alejandro Garnacho was reportedly laid into by his Chelsea players at half-time of the Blues' recent defeat against Manchester United. Garnacho was subbed into the game early doors after an injury to Estevao forced the Brazilian wonderkid off the pitch.

After initially failing to make an impact on the right-hand side of Chelsea's attack, boss Liam Rosenior switched him over to his more favoured left-hand side. It didn't work to much effect though, as Garnacho continued to struggle throughout the 1-0 loss at Stamford Bridge.

Garnacho, of course, arrived from United in the summer transfer window, joining for a fee rumoured to be in the region of £40million. The Argentine was getting plenty of stick from the travelling United fans throughout Saturday night's Premier League encounter, but as far as Garnacho was concerned, the stick didn't end there.

As per The Sun, it's claimed the Chelsea players were unhappy with Garnacho's contributions, with some even going as far as giving him an earful during the half-time interval. Meanwhile, his former United team-mates revelled in their victory over Garnarcho on social media, with Luke Shaw posting a photo of him clattering into the ex-Red Devil.

It was liked, or commented on, by team-mates Dalot, Fernandes, Cunha, Joshua Zirkzee, Ayden Heaven, Lisandro Martinez, Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount. Elsewhere, the official United social media account clipped up videos of Garnacho being tackled by several of their players, which recieved plenty of admiration from fans online.

It comes after Garnacho made some inflammatory comments during the last few days of his United career, including criticising the then-manager Ruben Amorim for not starting him in the Europa League final. He angered the fans shortly after by posting a picture in Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa shirt, with a move to Chelsea having been agreed shortly after.
