Manchester United loanee Guillermo Varela threatens Eintracht Frankfurt with legal action: 'My name is polluted'

Manchester United defender Guillermo Varela has criticised Eintracht Frankfurt after being suspended for going against club orders by getting a tattoo before the German Cup final.

Varela is frustrated at not being able to join his team-mates for Saturday's showpiece against Borussia Dortmund having been banned by the club over his new artwork.

The Uruguayan right-back has described his new tattoo as 'not very big', but it was sufficient enough to anger Frankfurt officials who had warned him specifically against having it done.
