Alejandro Garnacho is all set to be the centre of attention when Chelsea travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in a big Premier League game on Saturday night.
Having swapped the Red Devils for the Blues in the recent transfer window, the Argentine is all set to return to his old stomping ground for the game.
Additionally, the winger could also be in line for his first start for his new team, having made a couple of substitute appearances for them in the Premier League and the Champions League so far.
Garnacho has made a rather positive start to life as a Chelsea player, as he was heavily involved in the goal that gave the Blues a late lead against Brentford.
However, the pacy winger was also at fault for the late goal that his team conceded last week against the Bees.
Having had a mixed game last time out, Garnacho will be eager to right that wrong against his former team, and now Enzo Maresca has revealed whether the player will start against his United on Saturday.

Enzo Maresca hints at Alejandro Garnacho starting against Man United
Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Maresca revealed that Garnacho is ready to make his first start for the club.
When discussing Argentine winger Garnacho, Maresca said via Football London, “In the last two games, he was very good when he came on. 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.”
Maresca has hinted at the possibility of Garnacho starting this weekend’s showdown at Old Trafford.
Garnacho has come off the bench for cameos against Brentford (Premier League) and Bayern Munich (Champions League) in the last week, showing plenty of positivity and directness in his limited minutes.
More importantly, he will be eager to prove a point to his former employers more than any other player on Saturday.
