‘A CLOWN’ – Alejandro Garnacho was mocked by Copenhagen player for his DODGY actions in Man Utd’s defeat

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.”

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

Due to their defeat, United was now at the bottom of their Champions League group after four games and three points.

However, Copenhagen leads the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray by four points in second place on goal differential.

The defending German champions, Bayern Munich, have dominated the group with four straight victories.
