A CHEEKY tactic by Alejandro Garnacho failed to pay off for a second time thanks to en eagle-eyed FC Copenhagen star.

The Manchester United winger ruffled some feathers during their 1-0 first leg win when he intentionally scuffed the penalty spot just before Jacob Larsson’s missed spot kick.

Garnacho angered some when he seemed to intentionally scuff the penalty spot during their first leg win against Copenhagen

On Wednesday, ahead of Copenhagen’s first-half equalising penalty, Garnacho again looked to target the penalty spot.

But defender Denis Vavro was having none of it.

He told bold.dk: “I saw that he tried to do something about the penalty kick, but Kevin Diks stood in front and blocked.”

The 27 year old then added: “It is the second time. And then on our track? To me he is a clown.”

And Vavro wasn’t done there, claiming 19-year-old Garnacho “has the mentality of a child when he tries something like this again. In an away game”.

He added: “[It’s] one thing is at home in the 97th minute, but here in the first half. I don’t understand him trying to do that.”

Diogo Gonçalves ultimately scored to tie the game at 2-2 heading into the break after Marcus Rashford’s questionable red card in the 42nd minute.

Bruno Fernandes’ own spot kick, converted in the 70th minute, gave the Red Devils the lead again.

Unfortunately for Erik ten Hag’s team, in the 87th minute, 17-year-old Roony Bardghji gave Copenhagen a memorable 4-3 victory.

After four games and with just three points, United’s defeat dropped them to the bottom of their Champions League group.

On goal differential, however, Copenhagen is four points ahead of Galatasaray, the Turkish powerhouse, in second place.

Bayern Munich, the reigning German champions, have won four straight games to cruise through the group.
