Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has withdrawn from Argentina’s squad due to injury.

The 20-year-old completed a full game on Sunday as Erik ten Hag’s side played out a drab goalless draw against Aston Villa.

According to TyC Sports, Garnacho is suffering from a knee problem and United’s medical team has advised him not to take any risks.

Argentina are due to play two World Cup qualifiers during the international break. The first is away to Venezuela on Thursday, the second is at home to Bolivia in the early hours of Wednesday morning UK time.

Garnacho, who was born in Madrid, has been capped seven times by Argentina.

The winger has scored three goals and registered three assists for United this season.

Speaking after United’s draw with Villa on Sunday, Ten Hag highlighted the bright start that Garnacho has made to the new season.

When asked about United’s struggles to score goals this season, Ten Hag said: ‘That will come. Sometimes it’s the form.

‘Rasmus Hojlund is just in the season, he is not up to 100 [per cent] fitness, match fitness. And he is our goalscorer, I would say our best goalscorer.

‘But also others, we know they can score goals, like Rashford. But he scored in Porto, he had a good assist in Porto, today he created two very good chances. I think Garnacho is all season already a threat, but also scoring and assisting. Bruno has abilities to score goals.

‘So we will get there and we trust the players. One day it will click.’
