Manchester, September 20, 2025 – Enzo Maresca has lit the fuse on Premier League fireworks by revealing Alejandro Garnacho is "ready to start" against his former club Manchester United in Saturday's Old Trafford blockbuster. The £40m summer coup from United could line up from kickoff, hungry to haunt Ruben Amorim's crisis-hit Red Devils.
Garnacho, 21, endured a frosty exit from United after being frozen out by Amorim—he was even told to "pray" for a move in training before his Europa League final snub. Now a Chelsea Blue, the Argentine winger has dazzled in cameos, assisting Moises Caicedo in the 2-2 Brentford draw and battling valiantly in the 3-1 Bayern UCL loss (22 minutes). "In the last two games, he was very good," Maresca beamed Friday. "He's adapting to our winger role—I think he's ready to start." The Italian warned of a hostile reception: "It's always difficult... like Cucurella at Bayern. He must handle the noise."
Chelsea, third after a solid start, eye United's slipstream—the hosts have won just once in five, with Amorim's job on the line. "They have a desire to win at home," Maresca noted, but Garnacho's pace could exploit gaps left by Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha's returns. United's Amorim dodged questions: "Garnacho's not our player—focus on ours."For Garnacho, friend of Enzo Fernandez and Argentina squad exile since November, this is personal. A goal at the Theatre of Dreams? Poetic justice—or United's nightmare.
