The Argentine winger, who joined Chelsea in a blockbuster move this summer, has impressed in his recent appearances off the bench, convincing Maresca that he is ready for a bigger role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s ready to start, yes,\u201d Maresca told reporters. \u201cIn the last two games, he was inside very good. We are happy with Garnacho.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance since arriving at Stamford Bridge, quickly adapting to the high-intensity style Maresca demands. His pace, flair, and direct approach have added a fresh dimension to Chelsea\u2019s attack, and fans are eager to see how he performs against his former club, Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlejandro is adapting to our style, he\u2019s doing so well,\u201d Maresca added, highlighting the winger\u2019s quick adjustment to life in West London. The fixture against United adds an intriguing subplot to Garnacho\u2019s potential start. Having come through the Red Devils\u2019 youth ranks, the Argentine could be lining up against many of his former teammates, a narrative that adds spice to an already high-profile clash.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, who have shown steady improvement under Maresca\u2019s guidance, will be hoping Garnacho can deliver the spark needed in front of goal. For United, the task will be to contain a player who knows their system and defensive tendencies all too well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho is in line to make his first start for the Blues\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":36996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3469,3187,312,3686,3815,1823,3796,249,3793],"class_list":["post-16110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-alejandro-garnacho","tag-blues","tag-chelsea","tag-david-ornstein","tag-enzo-maresca","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-manchester-united","tag-ruben-amorim"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
