Alejandro Garnacho appeared to scuff the penalty spot while the referee wasn’t looking – just moments before Jordan Larsson’s shot was saved.

Fans took to social media to react, with one person writing: “Garnacho you wonderful s***house.”

Another added: “GARNACHO I LOVE YOU.”

A third person wrote: “Bro went straight into business as soon as referee whistles for penalty.”

While a fourth joked: “HAHAHAHA MY S***HOUSE STARBOY.”

Speaking after the nervy victory, United boss Ten Hag said: “I didn’t see it. The referee probably didn’t see it either. I don’t know.”

Man Utd went on to win the game 1-0 thanks to Harry Maguire’s second-half strike.

The Red Devils have now jumped up to third in Group A, behind Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

After the match, goalscorer Maguire told TNT Sports: “Incredible. We have got to be more clinical, we had numerous counter-attacks and we didn’t give them a chance in the second-half.

“The first-half was really poor, it was not perfect but an important win. This man [Andre Onana] stepped up and it was a massive save.”

Man Utd honoured club legend Sir Bobby Charlton before kick-off.

The 1966 World Cup hero passed away on Saturday after a three-year battle with dementia.

Before the match, both teams observed a minute of silence and Erik ten Hag carried a wreath to the centre circle alongside Man Utd Under-19’s captain Dan Gore and Alex Stepney, a former team-mate of Sir Bobby.

Discussing the importance of the result and the evening, Maguire added: “It was meant to be. We were meant to win the game, a magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family.

“It has been a tough week for us away at Sheffield United and losing someone like Sir Bobby, it affects the cub and the dressing room. But really pleased we could get the win tonight.”
