Erik ten Hag blocks Alejandro Garnacho from summer World Cup tournament with Argentina

Manchester United have blocked Alejandro Garnacho from playing in this summer's Under-20 World Cup in his native Argentina.

Although Garnacho, 18, has been injured for six weeks and only just returned to training, United boss Erik ten Hag said the club will not be releasing him to play in the tournament. Asked if United will allow the winger to play for Argentina, Ten Hag said: “No, we don't release him.

“He will return tomorrow in team training, partially. Then we will have to see when he can return to full training, and back into matches.” Ten Hag also revealed he subbed goalscorer Jadon Sancho at half-time in Thursday's 2-2 draw at Spurs because he wanted more energy and work ethic in the team.
