The German press slammed Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund following Manchester United’s defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday. The duo were unable to shift the dial in their favor as their team tumbled out of the Champions League and, indeed, all European competition.
Garnacho started on the left against the Bavarian giants, with Hojlund entrusted to lead the line. It turned out to be a miserable night for both, as Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game to leave United bottom of Group A.

One particular incident involving Garnacho, which saw him shove Coman into an advertising board, went down particularly badly with German newspaper Bild, who labelled the teenager a ‘hooligan’.
The news outlet are famed for their savage post-match player ratings, with a score of one representing the best and six the worst.
Garnacho was handed a four for his broadly ineffective display, but the Argentina international got off lightly compared to Hojlund. Having been a passenger for much of the contest, the Dane was the only player on the pitch to be slapped with a dismal score of five.
The Champions League had previously been Hojlund’s favoured hunting ground this season, with his haul of five goals currently putting him joint-top in the competition alongside Alvaro Morata and Manchester City ace Erling Haaland.
