Chelsea sign Garnacho from Manchester United in £40m deal

Chelsea have completed the signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United in a transfer worth £40 million.

The 21-year-old winger has agreed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with United inserting a 10 per cent sell-on clause in the deal.

Speaking to Chelsea’s website, Garnacho said: “It’s an incredible moment for my family and I to join this great club.

Manchester United 3-2 Burnley: Fernandes scores late penalty to ease pressure on Amorim

Manchester United secured their first win of the Premier League season with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Burnley at Old Trafford, courtesy of a Bruno Fernandes penalty deep into stoppage time.

United, under pressure after a poor start to the campaign, took the lead in the 29th minute.

Casemiro’s header from a Fernandes free-kick rebounded off Josh Cullen and crossed the line despite goalkeeper Martin Dubravka’s attempt to clear.

However, Burnley equalised through Lyle Foster, who converted Jens Larsen’s cross midway through the second half.

United responded almost immediately, with Diogo Dalot setting up Bryan Mbeumo for a close-range finish to restore the lead.

The visitors refused to fade, and substitute Jaidon Anthony levelled again after Kobbie Mainoo deflected his shot past goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Burnley looked set to claim a point until a late VAR intervention awarded United a penalty for Antony’s shirt pulling on Amad Diallo.

Fernandes, who missed from the spot last week, held his nerve in the 97th minute to seal the victory.

The result provides relief for manager Ruben Amorim, whose side had endured a difficult run, including a midweek Carabao Cup exit.

Carabao Cup: Why I Didn’t Watch Man Utd Penalties Against Grimsby Town – Amorim Opens Up

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has explained why he chose not to watch the team’s penalty shootout against Grimsby Town on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils were eliminated from the Carabao Cup second round by the League Two side.

After 90 minutes, the scores were level at 2-2, after Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scored in the second half to equalize for Amorim’s men.

A marathon shootout eventually saw the Mariners advance to the third round.

Overall, 26 penalties were taken over the course of a shootout, but Amorim appeared to have little interest in watching.

When asked about his apparent lack of interest, Amorim said: “The penalty shootout is not important.

“If I’m there trying to see if we win the game… it doesn’t matter.

“The signs, the beginning of the game, during the game, that is what matters.”

Grimsby Town pull major Carabao Cup upset, stun Manchester United 12-11 on penalties

Manchester United crashed out of the Carabao Cup in a stunning fashion, suffering a penalty shootout defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town, marking one of the biggest upsets in English football history.

Ruben Amorim’s men, already under pressure following a poor start to the season, were humbled in the second round as Grimsby triumphed 12-11 on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw in normal time.

The night began disastrously for United. In the 22nd minute, Charles Vernam struck low into the corner, his effort slipping through the hands of Andre Onana, whose weak form continues to worry supporters.

United looked dead and buried until late in the second half when Bryan Mbeumo opened his account for the club in the 75th minute, raising faint hopes of a comeback.

With just a minute left on the clock, Harry Maguire rose highest to nod in an equaliser from a corner, dragging the tie into penalties.

What followed was one of the longest and most nerve-wracking shootouts in Carabao Cup history.

After 25 spot-kicks, it was Grimsby who held their nerve, sealing a famous victory that will be remembered for years to come.
