'I started to do some bad things' – Garnacho remorseful over manner of Man Utd exit
Alejandro Garnacho conceded he regrets the manner of his exit from Manchester United, acknowledging he did "some bad things" before leaving for Chelsea.
The winger joined the Blues for a reported fee of £40m in August, after he had fallen out of favour with Ruben Amorim.
Signed from Atletico Madrid as a 16-year-old, Garnacho went on to make 144 senior appearances for United, scoring 26 goals.
The Argentina international played 58 times in all competitions during his final season at Old Trafford, helping the Red Devils reach the Europa League final.
However, he only played the final 20 minutes of the 1-0 defeat by Tottenham, with his brother claiming he had been "thrown under the bus" by Amorim.
Garnacho had also been pictured wearing an Aston Villa shirt sporting Marcus Rashford's name, and he was remorseful about his behaviour during the final stages of his United career.

"Maybe yes, because I loved that club. They gave me confidence from the start," he told Sky Sports.
"From Spain, to bring me to the academy, then they brought me to the first team. So, it was four or five years, and amazing love from everyone.
"I remember in the last six months, I was just not playing like before at Manchester United. I started to be on the bench. That's not a bad thing.
"I was only 20 years old, but in my mind, it was like I had to play every game. In my mind, maybe it is also on me. I started to do some bad things.
"But yes, it was just this moment in life, and sometimes, you have to make decisions. I am really proud to be here [at Chelsea] and still in the Premier League at a club like this. Everyone knows the team we have and the things we can do.
"Sometimes, we have better moments or worse moments, I am proud to be here, but with United, I have nothing wrong to say about the club, no-one in the club or the team-mates. It's just a moment in life that changes and life continues. I have no regrets.
"From the fans, the stadium, everything was really good. It's just sometimes you have to change for the good of your life or the next steps. I only have good memories of Man United."
Garnacho has played 37 times for Chelsea in all competitions this season, scoring eight goals.
