Garnacho and Licha commended for Copa America success
Manchester United duo Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro Martinez have been commended for their international efforts at Copa America following their recent return to Carrington.
Garna and Licha both played their parts as Lionel Scaloni's side won their latest international crown, beating Colombia 1-0 in the final thanks to Lautaro Martinez's extra-time strike.
Having now returned to base ahead of the new season, our Argentina internationals were congratulated on their efforts by manager Erik ten Hag and their team-mates on Wednesday.
Presented with awards designed and curated by the club, both players were hailed for their winning culture by the boss.

Martinez played in all but one of Argentina's six games in the US, missing out in their final Group A encounter against Peru.
Garnacho featured in just one game, the aforementioned clash against La Blanquirroja, in which he started and played 66 minutes in a 2-0 win.
The pair were then granted an extended summer break after their endeavours in North America, before returning just days ago.
