Manchester United plans for US friendly revealed as Argentina boss provides verdict on Garnacho debut

Here are your Friday morning Manchester United headlines.

Wrexham plans

Manchester United are set to fly a separate squad of players to the US for the pre-season friendly fixture against Wrexham next month.

United are set to face the League Two side at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Tuesday, July 25 as part of a week-long training camp in San Diego.

The fixture was officially announced back in March with a viral video of Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney attempting to speak with Sir Alex Ferguson via video call.

Scaloni on Garnacho

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni is 'excited' to have Alejandro Garnacho at his disposal but urged against overusing the 18-year-old.

Manchester United star Garnacho made his national team debut on Thursday afternoon, coming off the bench in the 76th-minute as his side beat Australia 2-0. The world champions were two goals up by that point, thanks to Lionel Messi and German Pezzella.

Garnacho's first action in the blue and white of Argentina was to play the ball to Messi, the man he grew up idolising, but the teenager didn't get much chance to impress in a game that was already winding down in a hot and humid Beijing.

Nevertheless, it was a memorable moment for the Reds winger and the first of what will likely be many appearances for his nation, with Scaloni excited to see the teenager more.
