Chelsea earned a convincing 3-1 win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge, with Tosin Adarabioyo scoring his first Premier League goal for the club. Although initially ruled offside, the goal was awarded after a VAR review in the 24th minute. Wolves managed to equalize before halftime through Matt Doherty, who took advantage of an error by Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
However, Chelsea reasserted their dominance in the second half, with Marc Cucurella restoring their lead and Noni Madueke securing the victory with his fourth goal against Wolves this season.
Meanwhile, speculation over Alejandro Garnacho’s future continues to grow, as the Manchester United winger is reportedly linked with a move to Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte. The rumors intensified when Garnacho’s agent was spotted watching the Chelsea vs. Wolves match from the stands, an image later shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano. The post sparked widespread concern among Manchester United fans, who took to social media to voice their frustrations.
Many supporters expressed anger over the possibility of losing one of the club’s most promising talents, criticizing the ownership under INEOS for prioritizing financial matters over the team’s development. Some fans described the potential sale as a betrayal, while others lamented the club’s willingness to part ways with an academy graduate who has shown great potential.
Manchester United has reportedly placed a £70 million valuation on Garnacho, but Napoli’s offer is believed to fall short of this figure. The financial aspect of the deal holds significant importance, as any sale of Garnacho, being an academy product, would be considered pure profit under the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Former United midfielder and club legend Paul Scholes weighed in on the situation, sharing a measured perspective. While Scholes acknowledged Garnacho’s talent, he highlighted the winger’s inconsistency in technique and decision-making, suggesting that the club could find a more reliable replacement. However, he emphasized the importance of retaining other key academy players, such as Kobbie Mainoo, as part of the club’s long-term strategy.
Since making his first-team debut during the 2022/23 season, Garnacho has made 188 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 23 goals, including memorable strikes in the FA Cup and Community Shield finals. Despite his contributions, the uncertainty surrounding his future has divided fans. While some hope the club will focus on nurturing young talent, others worry that financial decisions may outweigh footballing priorities. The situation remains a hot topic among supporters as they await clarity on Garnacho’s future.
