Manchester United fans have dropped their telling responses after Alejandro Garnacho made his first start for 2022 World Cup champions Argentina in the March international break.
Alejandro Garnacho has had an impressive campaign at Manchester United, with the Spain-born winger establishing himself as a regular under manager Erik ten Hag.
The 19-year-old United winger has made 26 Premier League appearances and Garnacho has scored five times and registered three assists in the league.
Garnacho has also shown his incredible versatility for Erik ten Hag, who has deployed the United star out on the left wing and right wing at times this season.
Despite being born in Spain and representing the country at youth level, the Red Devils star committed his international future to World Cup champions Argentina.
Garnacho, whose mother is of Argentinian descent, has been capped five times for La Albiceleste after making his debut under Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni.
Man Utd star Garnacho starts for Argentina
Alejandro Garnacho earned his first senior call-up for Argentina in 2023 and made his debut after coming off the bench in a 2-0 friendly win over Australia.
The Argentina international had made four appearances from the bench before making his first start for the World Cup champions on Wednesday.
Garnacho started out on the wing alongside Manchester United flop Angel Di Maria and Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez in attack against Costa Rica.
The United star played 71 minutes on his first start for Argentina before he was hooked off for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
Lionel Scaloni was happy with Garnacho’s showing for Argentina in the 3-1 win against Costa Rica and tipped him to have a bright future with La Albiceleste.
“Garnacho and [Valentin] Carboni, they are boys who can contribute and we will see in the future if they will be with us,” he said, as per UtdTruthful on X.
“But I am happy, it is not easy to play with this jersey or with these opponents who make your life difficult.”
