Manchester United and England star Luke Shaw has brutally mocked Alejandro Garnacho following the Red Devils' win against Chelsea.

Shaw, 30, posted a photo of him tackling the Argentine while he was falling to the ground, complaining.

United won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in a huge victory, putting them 10 points clear of the Blues in sixth and firmly in the driving seat for Champions League football.

The former teammates used to play alongside each other on the left-hand side during Garnacho's three years in the senior squad at Old Trafford.

The Argentine was public enemy number one in front of the away supporters, who were quick to boo him every time he touched the ball.

Garnacho left under a cloud with his move to Chelsea, who are now open to selling him after only buying the youngster eight months ago.

United fans were quick to lap up Shaw's post, with one supporter on social media saying: "Incredible image choice."

Several others responded with laughing emojis in a post that has already accumulated over 650,000 likes.

Shaw performed strongly in a makeshift back four of Diogo Dalot on the right and a centre-back partnership of Ayden Heaven and Noussair Mazraoui.

United were without Leny Yoro through injury, or Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez, who were missing due to suspension.

Despite this, the Red Devils still kept a clean sheet against Chelsea, who have not scored in their last four in the league.

Matheus Cunha got the only goal of the game after a fantastic ball into the penalty area by Bruno Fernandes.

The United skipper took advantage of the Blues being down to 10 men, after Wesley Fofana had to step out of play to receive treatment following a heavy collision with Robert Sanchez.

Moises Caicedo dropped into Fofana's position while the Frenchman was off the pitch, which Fernandes cleverly recognised.

The Portuguese expertly picked out Cunha arriving in an area where Caicedo would naturally be, creating the opportunity for the former Wolves man, who smashed his strike into the top corner.

Garnacho tracked Fernandes all the way to the byline but failed to make a strong challenge, with some calling for him to do more in his defensive work.

The Blues forked out £40million for Garnacho's signature in September, who has endured a tricky season at Stamford Bridge.

The 21-year-old was eager to join Chelsea in January last year, with his agents visiting west London.

However, after numerous average performances in a blue shirt and not being a preferred option on Liam Rosenior's side, the Blues are open to hearing offers for the Argentine, reports The Sun.

Garnacho did not start yesterday's clash against his former side but came on early in the first half after Brazilian winger Estevao was injured.
