'He is a clown' - Copenhagen defender blasts Man United's Garnacho in rant

talksport.com, 9 November 2023, 15:33
Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho has been branded a 'clown' by Copenhagen centre-back Dennis Vavro.

The Danish champions came from behind to win 4-3 on Wednesday night, leaving Man United on the brink of a Champions League exit.

Garnacho set up Rasmus Hojlund's second goal as the Red Devils went 2-0 ahead before Marcus Rashford was sent off.

Copenhagen then levelled things before halftime, before Bruno Fernandes put Erik ten Hag's side 3-2 up after the break.

Garnacho was spotted 'shushing' the home crowd as he and his teammates turned away in celebration.

The 19-year-old had tried to scuff up the penalty spot prior to Diogo Goncalves' penalty, which made it 2-2, according to Vavro.

"I saw that he tried to do something about the penalty kick, but Kevin Diks stood in front and blocked," the defender told Danish news outlet Bold.dk.

"It is the second time. And then on our track? To me, he is a clown. He has the mentality of a child when he tries something like this again. In an away game.

"[It is] one thing at home in the 97th minute, but here in the first half? I don't understand him trying to do it."

Garnacho had previously tampered with the penalty spot in the reverse fixture, which saw Andre Onana save a spot-kick right at the death.
