Man Utd risk backlash for Alejandro Garnacho decision after star 'demanded Ten Hag talks'
Alejandro Garnacho hasn't been named in Argentina's squad for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, despite his reported desire to participate in the event this summer. Manchester United are said to have blocked the 19-year-old's involvement following his busy season that is still ongoing at the Copa America.
No United outfield player made more appearances than Garnacho's 50 last season, in which he scored 10 goals and provided five assists.
He ended the campaign by making 38 consecutive starts and, following a limited break, is currently representing Argentina at the Copa America.

But Garnacho won't be involved in Paris after United reportedly blocked an approach and later turned down his request to participate.
In May, TNT Sports Argentina reported that Mascherano wanted to add the Red Devils' No. 17 to his Olympics squad after an impressive season at Old Trafford.
The following month, TyC Sports claimed that Garnacho had requested talks with manager Erik ten Hag after Argentina were informed he wouldn't be released.
