MANCHESTER UNITED fans could not resist the chance to troll former star Alejandro Garnacho as he was guilty of costing Chelsea two points on his debut.
Garnacho, 21, completed a £40million transfer from the Red Devils to the Blues in the final days of the summer transfer window.

He was then named on the bench for Chelsea‘s clash against Brentford for Saturday’s late kick-off.
Garnacho looked to have helped Enzo Maresca‘s heavily-rotated side snatch all three points in the London derby as he crossed a ball which deflected into the path of Moises Caicedo, who then smashed home a goal in the 85th minute.
However, his impact was more heavily felt at the other end of the pitch as Chelsea attempted to defend a long throw in injury time.
As many as SIX Blues stars crowded towards the front of the area in a desperate attempt to get first contact on the ball and clear it away for what would have certainly been safety for all three points.
But the flight of the ball took it through the crowd and to the far post, where Fabio Carvalho was patiently waiting for a tap in.
Carvalho snuck around the blindside of Garnacho, who switched off at the far post by failing to track his man for the equaliser.
Jamie Redknapp slammed his lazy defensive work in the Sky Sports studio after the game, saying the Argentine had “fell asleep” at the vital moment.
And United fans, still bitter at the fallout of Garnacho’s unceremonious exit from the club, gleefully trolled their former player for his error.

One fan on social media said: “Me liking all Alejandro Garnacho’s hate tweets.”
A second said: “Garnacho losing his man who strolls in to cost his new club two points on his debut.”
A third added: “It’s Garnacho that loses him. Lol.”
Another said: “Wonderful insightful analysis from Jamie Redknapp highlighting Garnacho was responsible for Brentford’s stoppage time equaliser.”
However, Garnacho will have the chance to make amends and take revenge on his trolls when he faces his old club at his former stomping ground next weekend.
