Alejandro Garnacho in contention for first-ever Argentina National team start against Costa Rica

Alejandro Garnacho has made four appearances for the national team

Alejandro Garnacho, a young player, has been delighting Manchester United fans with his performances these past several weeks. When Alejandro Garnacho played for Argentina over the weekend, he showcased his skills on the opposite side of the globe.

Garnacho, 19, came on as a halftime replacement in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over El Salvador. After a straightforward but selfless effort in which he was unfortunate not to end up with at least one assist, it was his finest effort to yet for his nation.

This marked the teenage forward’s fourth outing for his country, and he may be in line for his first start on Wednesday morning once Argentina plays Costa Rica in another friendly.

Due to Lionel Messi’s injury, this match provided youngster Garnacho and Brighton prospect Facundo Buananotte, who was substituted in the 65th minute, an opportunity to shine.Sergio Romero, a defender for Tottenham who is a regular on the team, decided to approach the young pair after the game.

The youthful quality in the team was also highlighted by Atletico Madrid player Rodrigo de Paul, who said via Diario Panorama, “It makes me happy because at the end of the day, they are the future.”Following his performance, Garnacho received high marks from the Argentine press as the squad prepared to defend the Copa America this summer.
