Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho receives shock Argentina call-up alongside Lionel Messi

Manchester United youngster Alejandro Garnacho has received a shock call-up to the Argentina side despite never having made a senior appearance at any level.

Garnacho, 17, was born in Spain and has represented his homeland at youth level. However, he is eligible to play for the South American giants through his mother, and it seems they are eager to poach him ahead of his country of birth.

The young forward has been one of the brightest success stories for United at youth level this season and has played an integral role in the club's pathway to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup with four goals in four games.
