The manager of Copenhagen seems to be hoping that the Red Devils, following their thrilling victory, will try to lose the youngster.
In the final minute of the match, Manchester United’s goalkeeper, André Onana, saved a penalty kick to preserve the team’s 1-0 lead. Although there is still some controversy surrounding that play, the fact remains that the Red Devils pulled off their first Champions League victory.
Following the game, a number of videos surfaced showing Alejandro Garnacho destroying the penalty spot. This may have given the Red Devils a slight advantage so that Onana had more opportunities to stop the kick, and it appears that the young player may be the subject of further investigation.
“If you destroy the penalty spot like that, it is a red card,” stated Heestrup, the manager of Copenhagen. Although I don’t blame the player, the federation and the referee must decide whether to set boundaries for that. Some experts, particularly in light of the manager’s remarks, predict that certain actions on that play will still occur.
Many sources now predict that the Copenhagen team will launch an investigation with UEFA to ensure that they establish some guidelines regarding such behavior. This could result in the young player being sanctioned. It’s important to keep in mind that both teams are scheduled to play again in Denmark on November 8.
Role of Alejandro Garnacho
According to a number of reports, Ten Hag is currently making sure to give Alejandro Garnacho more and more playing time to demonstrate that the young player has a bright future with the Red Devils and to possibly cement his desire to stay with the team.
