Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho has caused a stir after 'liking' a tweet suggesting he was overlooked for Argentina's World Cup squad because he was born in Spain.

Despite his excellent form for United in recent weeks, including a stoppage time winner at Fulham in their last match, Garnacho wasn't called up by Argentina as a replacement for the injured Nicolas Gonzalez and Joaquin Correa.

Atletico Madrid's Angel Correa and Atlanta United's Thiago Almada were picked by coach Lionel Scaloni instead.
