United's World Cup links: Group A

PLAYERS PAST AND PRESENT…

Argentina is one of the best represented foreign nations in United’s history, with Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho extending the list to eight this year. Juan Sebastian Veron, signed in 2001, was our first player from the South American country, while Gabriel Heinze and Carlos Tevez also contributed to Premier League title wins in the 2000s. Three members of the Argentina squad which made it to the 2014 World Cup final later joined United, with Marcos Rojo making 122 appearances – the most of any Argentinian Red. Sergio Romero was a reliable cup goalkeeper, playing a significant role in the 2017 Europa League success, while Angel Di Maria played for a single season before leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in 2015.
