Video footage show Garnacho scuffing the turf around the penalty spot in order to make it as uncomfortable as possible for Jordan Larsson.
The Argentinian’s actions were blasted by former Arsenal player and current pundit for Swedish TV Kim Kallstrom.
“What an ugly type,” Kallstrom said. “That’s so childish. It’s such a baby level.”
Erik Ten Hag admitted after the match that he hadn’t seen the incident, therefore, cannot comment on the matter.
In the end, Andre Onana saved the penalty to preserve United’s slender 1-0 win and keep their chances in the Champions League alive.
