Argentina manager has provided Alejandro Garnacho with even more Manchester United motivation

Given that Alejandro Garnacho had just been included in the Argentina squad for the March international break, his injury came at the worst possible time. The youngster is still waiting to make his first appearance for the South American side, and he will have hoped to have achieved it over the next two games.

The 18-year-old has made 29 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side this term, registering four goals and five assists. He has provided the Reds with another exciting attacking option on the wing, with his pace and direct approach helping United, particularly in the latter stages of matches.

Garnacho, who was born in Spain, qualifies for Argentina through his mother. While both countries are reportedly keen to secure his services, it appears that he is leaning towards the latter. Even though he has played for Argentina's under-20s - and was included in their training squad ahead of the World Cup last year - he could still opt to represent the European outfit if desired.
