Alejandro Garnacho rewarded
Paulo Dybala aside, Lionel Scaloni wanted to give a little makeover to the Argentine attack by opting for Alejandro Garnacho. The 19-year-old striker had a rather decent season at Manchester United, in a disappointing team in the Premier League, scoring 7 goals and providing 4 assists. However, he should not occupy a central role since Angel Di Maria, Julian Alvarez, Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez remain ahead of him in the hierarchy.
