Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has been called a “clown” following Wednesday’s damaging Champions League defeat. FC Copenhagen players have given a damning verdict on the youngster after he attempted to scuff the penalty spot again.<\/p>\n

Garnacho played the whole 90 minutes as Copenhagen won 4-3 in a dramatic encounter in Denmark. The hosts came from behind twice and scored two late goals to turn the game on its head.<\/p>\n

United had led 2-0 before Marcus Rashford was controversially sent off after a VAR intervention. Copenhagen immediately pulled one back before they were awarded a penalty after Harry Maguire was adjudged to have handled in his own area.<\/p>\n

Garnacho was seen scuffing up the penalty spot in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford two weeks ago before Jordan Larsson saw his stoppage-time effort saved by Andre Onana. Copenhagen players were wise to him doing that again on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Defender Denis Vavro has called Garnacho out, claiming it was childish behaviour from the 19-year-old. Vavro told bold.dk: “I saw that he tried to do something about the penalty kick, but Kevin Diks stood in front and blocked.<\/p>\n

“It is the second time. And then [he tries doing it] on our pitch? To me he is a clown. He has the mentality of a child when he tries something like this again. In an away game.<\/p>\n

“One thing is at home in the 97th minute, but here in the first half. I don’t understand him trying to do that.”<\/p>\n

Lukas Lerager scored Copenhagen’s equaliser to make the game 3-3. He didn’t see Garnacho trying to scuff the penalty spot but he criticised the teenager for his in-game tactics and told him his opinion during the match.<\/p>\n
