Argentina responds to Alejandro Garnacho after masterful Manchester United display
The Argentinian FA's one-word response to Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho hinted at the teenager being involved with the national team again soon.
Garnacho was kept out of the South American's most recent international squad in November having been involved in previous breaks. When quizzed on the decision, head coach Lionel Scaloni set the winger a challenge.
He told reporters: "Ale’s non-call-up is due to a form issue. During the last calls, he did not have minutes and we have to think about the human aspect as well too. "He’s on our radar and will be part of our plans."

Since then, it has been difficult to deny the 19-year-old's upturn in form and on Boxing Day, Garnacho ran the fightback for the Reds in the second half. His brace dragged United back from the brink against Aston Villa before Rasmus Hojlund sealed the turnaround at Old Trafford.
Garnacho has five senior goals to his name this season, his best return to date, and he is clearly hungry for more. Following the festive fixture yesterday, the forward posted on Instagram: "Christmas Present, Reds!
"No one deserves this more than our fans. We are Manchester United!"
Clearly the winger's national team were impressed with what they saw too as they simply responded: "Wow," in the comments section. There is still plenty of time for Garnacho to continue to impress Scaloni.
The next international break does not fall until March but it is an important year for the World Cup winners with Copa America taking place in June.
