Alejandro Garnacho realising Lionel Messi dream as Man United star prepares for Argentina debut

Alejandro Garnacho is ready for a pinch-me moment as he prepares to make his long-awaited international debut for Argentina.

The Manchester United winger is set to make his bow in this week's friendly with Indonesia with the World Cup winners also taking on Australia in a friendly double-header.

The 18-year-old, who was called up to the senior squad in March but forced to pull out through injury, has previously starred for his country at Under-20 level. He didn’t feature in the recent World Cup at that age group, with United opting against releasing him for a tournament played outside the international window.
