MANCHESTER UNITED would slump to the bottom of their Champions League Group with a loss against Copenhagen but a win could propel them into a qualifying spot – fine margins.
Andre Onana and Harry Maguire were the unlikely heroes when the Red Devils faced their Danish opponents in the reverse fixture.
Maguire’s header followed by Andre Onana’s stoppage-time penalty save fired United to three crucial points at Old Trafford.
But since then, the Red Devils have suffered two damning 3-0 loses at the hands of noisy neighbours Manchester City and high-flying Newcastle.
However, Erik ten Hag’s men will be oozing with confidence as they go into this game off the back of a last-ditch win against Fulham.
Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup will be forced to face the Manchester giants without forward Mohamed Elyounoussi who recently suffered a muscular injury.
While William Clem continues on his road to recovery having sustained a broken leg earlier this season.
Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag will be sweating over the fitness of Marcus Rashford who was ruled out of the Fulham win after picking up a heavy knock in training.
And it could see the English star sit on the sidelines once again with Casemiro (hamstring), Luke Shaw (muscle), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Lisandro Martinez (foot) and Amad Diallo (knee).
