Manchester United's Garnacho and Martinez Called Up for Argentina's World Cup Qualifiers

Manchester United's dynamic duo, Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro Martinez, have earned their spots in Argentina's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in September. Selected by Argentina's head coach Lionel Scaloni, the two players will join their national team to face Chile on September 6th and Colombia on September 10th as part of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification process.

Garnacho and Martinez, who were instrumental in their respective roles during the recent international tournaments, are once again being called upon to represent the reigning World Cup champions. Lisandro Martinez, a defensive stalwart for Argentina, played a pivotal role in their Copa America triumph this summer, where Argentina edged out Colombia 1-0 in the final. Impressively, Argentina did not concede a single goal while Martinez was on the pitch, highlighting his defensive prowess.

On the other hand, Alejandro Garnacho, a rising star for both Manchester United and Argentina, made a solitary appearance in the Copa America. With the World Cup qualifiers now on the horizon, Garnacho is eager to make a more significant impact and solidify his place in Scaloni’s plans as he prepares for his first senior World Cup.

Argentina enters the qualifiers as favorites, buoyed by their Copa America victory and their status as World Cup holders. With Garnacho and Martinez bringing their Manchester United experience to the national stage, Argentina aims to secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup with a strong showing in these early qualifiers.

As the international break approaches, Manchester United fans will be keen to see how their players perform on the global stage, hoping for their safe return and continued success in the Premier League campaign.
