Argentina waiting on crunch Alejandro Garnacho decision from Man Utd after making special request to Erik ten Hag's side

Premier League

According to <a href="https://tntsports.com.ar/seleccion/decision-mascherano-garnacho-seleccion-20240528-0040.html" target="_blank">TNT Sports</a>, Javier Mascherano, the coach of the U23 Argentina squad, has made a formal request to United to release Garnacho for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris. However, they are yet to hear back from the English club. The same uncertainty applies to Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, another promising talent that Mascherano hopes to include in his Olympic squad.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In addition to Garnacho and Fernandez, Mascherano is also waiting for confirmation from Aston Villa regarding the availability of Emiliano Martinez. However, he has already secured the participation of Nicolas Otamendi and Julian Alvarez, both of whom bring a wealth of talent and experience to the squad.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Garnacho's potential selection for both Argentina's Copa America squad and the Under-23 squad for the Paris Olympics would hardly hand him a window to recover for the next campaign that is set to begin on August 10 with the Community Shield at Wembley against Manchester City. He has been an instrumental figure for the Red Devils this season with 15 goal contributions in 50 appearances, including an opener in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-man-city-alejandro-garnacho-kobbie-mainoo/blte333646e571e3457" target="_blank">FA Cup final win over Manchester City</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

If selected, Garnacho would join the Copa America squad in early June. The tournament's final is scheduled for July 14 in Miami and immediately after the conclusion, he would then fly to Paris to join the Olympic squad with the men's football tournament set to commence on July 24.
