Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho will have a great opportunity ahead of the Copa America after Lionel Scaloni confirmed at a press conference that the Argentina winger will start the friendly against Costa Rica.
These friendlies ahead of the European Championship and Copa America are often key for players who do not have a major role with the national team to push for a call-up to the final squad for the tournament, as is the case with the Red Devils winger.
Alejandro Garnacho is excelling this season at Manchester United, having become a regular starter in the Red Devils’ attacking line at just 19 years of age, which has led him to be called up by Argentina for the friendlies of the international break in March.
Lionel Scaloni is confident that Garnacho can do even more and confirmed at a press conference that he will hand him the big chance to start for the ‘Albiceleste’ against Costa Rica on Tuesday night. “It’s a good time for Garnacho to get his chance,” he said.
Lionel Scaloni: “A Di María lo vi bien y va a ser titular. Lo que hablé con él me lo guardo”.
“Es un buen momento para que Garnacho tenga la oportunidad”.

In conclusion, the 19-year-old played the second half of Argentina’s win over El Salvador but failed to make as much of an impact on the game as he does when playing for Old Trafford.
