Alejandro Garnacho was ridiculed by his former Manchester United teammates within the aftermath of Chelsea\u2019s latest damaging Premier League defeat.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha\u2019s fist-half goal was enough to secure three helpful points for Michael Carrick\u2019s side who’re firmly within the drivingseat to secure Champions League qualification. <\/p>\n

Chelsea, against this, are within the midst of a dismal run with Saturday\u2019s loss their fourth in a row without scoring. <\/p>\n

The issues are piling up for Liam Rosenior who’s already under immense scrutiny just 4 months after he was hired to interchange the outgoing Enzo Maresca. <\/p>\n

While Chelsea seem like backing their manager, a choice already appears to have been made on their underperforming Argentina international winger.<\/p>\n

Garnacho swapped Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge in the summertime in a \u00a340million move following an acrimonious departure from the Theatre of Dreams, but Chelsea are said to be open to offers and able to cut their losses. <\/p>\n

The 21-year-old would have been hoping to achieve a measure of revenge last night when he was summoned from the bench early on to interchange the stricken Estevao. <\/p>\n

In line with much of what has gone before this season, nevertheless, Garnacho was easily nullified by United\u2019s makeshift defence which was missing 4 first-choice centre-halves.<\/p>\n

Garnacho was booed throughout by United\u2019s away fans and the sensation within the dressing room just isn’t too dissimilar, judging by the social media activity several players indulged in after the sport. <\/p>\n

Luke Shaw, who was in direct opposition against his former teammate, posted an image on Instagram which depicted him standing over Garnacho after had fallen to the ground. <\/p>\n

Skipper Bruno Fernandes responded to the post with a gif accompanied by a caption which read \u2018that\u2019s a violation\u2019 while Alex Telles, who left United last summer, shared two fire emojis and a love heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chelsea, who trail fifth-placed Liverpool by 4 points having played a game more, have lost 4 league games in a row without scoring for the primary time in 28 years. Not since 1912 have the team endured an extended streak.<\/p>\n

In all competitions the run stands at six defeats of their last seven, during which they’ve conceded 16 times, with seven of their nine goals scored coming against Sky Bet League One Port Vale.<\/p>\n

Asked what failure to qualify for the Champions League would mean for his own future,\u00a0Rosenior\u00a0said: \u2018The honest answer is I don\u2019t know.\u2019<\/p>\n

He could at the very least point to a much-improved display following the capitulation here against Manchester City every week ago, but his team look wanting belief that despite making a wave of possibilities, they appeared to have given up long before the tip.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tonight was a very difficult result to take,\u2019 said\u00a0Rosenior. \u2018They\u2019ve had one shot on our goal once we\u2019re all the way down to 10 men off an injury, and so they rating. <\/p>\n

\u2018Then we now have wave after wave of attack, crosses within the box, moments that we don\u2019t reap the benefits of.<\/p>\n

\u2018Now we have to maintain working. Now we have to show this around.\u2019<\/p>\n
