Manchester United could give Alejandro Garnacho permission to play at the U20 World Cup pending a result.

Following Manchester United’s elimination from the Europa League, the team could give Alejandro Garnacho permission to be with the Argentina team and participate at the U20 World Cup.

Argentina U20 coach Javier Mascherano included Garnacho in the preliminary list for the U20 World Cup but initial reports stated that Manchester United would not be releasing the player for the tournament. According to Gastón Edul, that could change.

With United eliminated from the Europa League, should they get eliminated against Brighton in the FA Cup, the idea might change and they might release him for the U20 World Cup which will be held in Argentina. He also states that Garnacho is “dying with desire” to play.

Brighton play Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Four stadiums are expected to be announced for the FIFA 2023 U20 World Cup in Argentina.

It was made official earlier this week that the U20 World Cup will be held in Argentina and we are starting to get the names of the possible stadiums. According to DobleAmarilla, four stadiums have been selected.

The opening match of the U20 World Cup will be on May 20 at the Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero. This is the same stadium which was used for Argentina’s 7-0 win vs. Curaçao last month. Here are the four stadiums selected for the World Cup:

Madre de Ciudades, Santiago del Estero
Único Diego Maradona, La Plata
Malvinas Argentinas, Mendoza
Bicentenario, San Juan

The final will be held at the Único Diego Maradona in La Plata.

Manchester United do not want to release Alejandro Garnacho for the U20 World Cup.

Alejandro Garnacho has been included in Javier Mascherano’s preliminary list of players for the U20 World Cup next month and there is already some push back. According to TyC Sports, Manchester United do not want to release Garnacho for the tournament.

They have already communicated it to the AFA. Mascherano and the AFA will do everything possible to get him for Argentina but it is complicated.

Because the U20 World Cup is not part of the FIFA calendar, clubs outside of Argentina are not obliged to release their players.

The AFA have approved a rule for Argentine clubs to release players for the national team.

Argentine clubs must now release their players to the Argentina national team, no matter the category. According to Hernán Castillo, a meeting within the AFA Was held in December and they approved that the clubs would have to release their players.

This has not always been the case, specifically for previous youth tournaments where clubs were not obliged and did not release their players for the national team.
