ERIK TEN HAG will spend the World Cup break thanking his lucky stars that Alejandro Garnacho was not included in the Argentina squad.
The teenager was left out by Lionel Scaloni despite putting himself into contention for a call-up this month.
A last-gasp winner at Fulham after he came off the bench means Garnacho now has two goals and two assists in his last four games.
And while it’s too late for a World Cup berth, Ten Hag can now look forward to six weeks working with the youngster.
Because Garnacho simply has to start for the Red Devils going forward.
