"The 21-year-old came off the bench against both Brentford and Bayern Munich for his first Chelsea appearances and Maresca says there are no concerns about the reception he might receive on his return to Old Trafford on Saturday evening. In the last two games, he was very good when he came on, said the Chelsea boss. So, we are happy with the way he has adapted to our style and what we want from the winger. I think he is ready to start."
"Chelsea have not won at Old Trafford for 12 years, and, despite United's struggles so far this season, Maresca is clear that his side face a tough challenge. I think it's always difficult to play United away in their stadium, Old Trafford, he said. So I don't think that now is the right moment or next year will be the right moment or last year was the right moment. It's always difficult. It's a difficult team, it's a difficult stadium."
Garnacho made his first Chelsea appearances coming off the bench against Brentford and Bayern Munich. There are no concerns about his reception on the return to Old Trafford. He performed very well in his recent substitute appearances and has adapted to Chelsea's style and winger role. He is considered ready to start. Old Trafford presents a difficult, often hostile atmosphere and remains a tough venue. Chelsea have not won there for 12 years, and United, despite inconsistent results this season, still represent a challenging opponent.
