Alejandro Garnacho turns down move to Champions League club as exiled Man United star continues push for Chelsea

Alejandro Garnacho has turned down a move to a top European side in favour of a dreamed-of move to Chelsea, with the Manchester United exile's time at Old Trafford set to come to a close.

The Argentinian was placed in Ruben Amorim's five-man 'bomb squad' at the start of the summer in step with fellow wantaway stars Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho, and Antony.

The Portuguese manager is believed to have told the Carrington graduate to start looking for a new club after he voiced his disappointment at being benched for Man United's abortive Europa League final against Tottenham in May.
