Alejandro Garnacho is labelled a ‘hooligan’ in Bild’s SAVAGE Man United player ratings… but he’s still not the worst rated among Erik ten Hag’s squad after Champions League exit against Bayern Munich

German newspaper Bild made no bones about it with their player ratings ahead of Manchester United's defeat to Bayern Munich, labeling United winger Alejandro Garnacho a 'hooligan'.

Garnacho angered the German media when he wrestled Bayern winger Kingsley Coman for the ball before pushing the Frenchman down the slope with a thud and crashing into one of the advertising hoardings.

Bild praised Hary Kane for his confrontation with 'hooligan' Garnacho in the immediate aftermath, but on a night when United were unceremoniously dumped out of the Champions League and finished bottom of Group A, Garnacho was still not the worst performer in Bild's eyes player.

The newspaper's barbaric figures are based on a German school rating system: essentially 1 is the best and 6 is the worst.

Garnacho was one of seven players to receive a grade of 4, but the lone striker Rasmus Hojlund, who found himself a peripheral and ineffective figure that evening, was dismissed with a grade of 5.

Hojlund struggled for service and when he did, he was swallowed up by centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who was given a second class in the eyes of Bild, and Kim Min-jae, who was also given a second class.

Bayern went into the match safely as winners of Group A and while not at their imperious best, they did respond to last weekend's 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

In addition to the two central defenders, Coman, who scored the only goal of the match, and defensive midfielder Leon Gortezka also received a 2.

It was the United team that Bild decided to put the boot in.

Raphael Varane, who started for the first time in seven weeks when Ten Hag wanted to make use of the experience of the four-time Champions League winner, was dismissed because of what was perceived as a bad match.

His centre-back Harry Maguire – who limped off in the first half with an apparent groin problem – was also finished with a grade of 4.

The top-rated United players could only manage a 3, with captain Bruno Fernandes assisted by full-backs Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw on that score.

United midfielders Scott McTominay and Sofyan Amrabat were both assessed as failed, achieving a 4, while goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has seen this Champions League campaign full of mistakes, scored the same figure, with some fans unhappy with his positioning. for Coman's goal.

Things go from bad to worse for Ten Hag and Manchester United, but victorious Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is backing his opponent to turn the tide.

“Of course I have sympathy,” Tuchel said. 'I think there are a lot of key players injured for a decisive game now (against Liverpool), and you can see that they lack that kind of personality and also the quality and maybe the width to change games from the bench. I think you could see that.

“Yes, it's not an easy time, but I'm pretty sure he knows what to do now, he knows how to influence his team and he doesn't need my advice. He doesn't need my slaps on the shoulders. He has enough experience to see it through.”
