Alejandro Garnacho controversially responds after second Argentina World Cup snub

Alejandro Garnacho has caused a stir after 'liking' a controversial post on social media that suggested the Manchester United hotshot failed to make Argentina's World Cup squad for a second time 'because he is Spanish'.

Garnacho's stock is at an all-time high following his breakthrough into Erik ten Hag's first-team squad. The 18-year-old wonderkid made a major impression at Old Trafford in the weeks leading up the Premier League's break and even bagged a last-gasp winner against Fulham in last weekend's mid-season finale.

The talented teenager's form, coupled with injuries to Nico Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa, had led to speculation that Garnacho could be drafted into Lionel Scaloni's 26-man World Cup squad.
