Manchester United was leading 1-0 in the Champions League match against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday when they conceded a penalty deep into injury time. While most players were still arguing with referee Marco Guida, Garnacho seized the opportunity to tamper with the penalty spot.
Substitute Jordan Larsson missed the penalty, allowing United to walk away with the victory. After the match, Erik ten Hag was confronted with the incident. 'I didn't see the moment, and probably the referee didn't either. So I'm not really sure what happened.'
Manchester United secured their first points of this Champions League season on Tuesday. They are now in third place in the group with three points. Bayern Munich is in first place with the full amount, followed by Galatasaray with four points. FC Copenhagen is at the bottom with one point. In two weeks, Manchester United will have to play away in Denmark.
