There are only a few days left until the start of the 2024/25 season in Europe. In view of the start of the Premier League Today a very important event took place in the Manchester United. The institution decided to pay tribute to Lisandro Martinez y Alejandro Garnacho after the consecration in the Copa America 2024 with the Argentine National Team.
In addition, his coach Erik ten Hag expressed these words in front of the entire team: “I want Licha and Garna to come up front because at Manchester United we need players with that winning mentality, and they know how to win.”. In response to the incident, several users on social media are sharing positive reactions.
Licha was a starter in all the Copa América matches, although despite his excellent campaign he did not make the best eleven. Meanwhile, Garnacho only played in the victory against Peru in the group stage. It is possible that after Angel Di Maria’s retirement he will become a more important figure in the Albiceleste.
Looking ahead to the season with United, both have a great chance of being starters. Martinez will be key in the defense after the departure of Raphael Varane. While Garnacho added many minutes last year in the forward line, it is expected that he will score several goals and assists.
Looking back at the schedule, Manchester United will face Manchester City on Saturday 10th at 11:00 am for the Community Shield. The Argentines are unlikely to be called up as they have just returned from their holidays. The official debut of both in 2024/25 could take place on Friday 16th against the Fulham for the 1st date of the Premier League.
When does the Argentine National Team play?
On Thursday, September 5, the Argentine National Team will face Chile at the Most Monumental Stadium for the 7th round of the South American Qualifiers. As an additional fact, Di María could play a few minutes in order to say goodbye to the Albiceleste in front of the fans.
Argentina will face none other than Colombia on Tuesday 10th in Barranquilla. Therefore, a very complex match is expected after the final in Miami. Scaloni’s team is currently the leader of the qualifiers with 15 points. They therefore only need three to four more wins to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
