“And while he has had some good moments at United, he wants to establish himself as a world star.”
“England is the best place to do that, and Chelsea have assembled a lot of good young players.”
The source said: “Garnacho seems to think he’s the next Ronaldo and this was his ‘exit interview’ moment, like he wanted to annoy people so much that there was no option but to sell him.
“It’s not gone down well with the rest of the players. There is a feeling that while he’s a good player, he’s not quite as good as he thinks he is.”
