Javier Mascherano has defended Alejandro Garnacho after it was claimed he did not make Argentina's World Cup squad because of his attitude.
Although Garnacho has been in excellent form for United, his performances came too late to make the Argentina squad for Qatar. The youngster was named in his nation's preliminary 55-man squad but he failed to make the final 26-man squad.
There was also late hope for Garnacho to make the Argentina squad, with Joaquin Correa and Nico Gonzalez forced to withdraw through injury on Thursday, but the United academy graduate was not selected as a replacement for either player.
