Liverpool legend Javier Mascherano had a significant say in Alejandro Garnacho's international future as the Manchester United man chose Argentina over Spain.
The 18-year-old made his first United start in the Red Devils' 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol last Thursday, with Garnacho lining up on the left side of a front three alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Antony. Goals from Diogo Dalot, Marcus Rashford and Ronaldo earned the Red Devils a crucial victory in the Europa League to keep the pressure on Real Sociedad at the top of the group.
Although he didn't provide a goal or an assist, Garnacho's full debut was one to remember as he impressed throughout, with his pace and trickery causing the Sherriff defence all kinds of problems. Garnacho is seen as one of United's next big talents, and though he is still a teenager, the forward has had to make some big decisions already in his career - including which team to represent internationally.
