FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United – LIVE!

Manchester United travel to FC Copenhagen tonight in need of a victory. With Bayern Munich leading Champions League Group A, Erik ten Hag’s side are in a battle alongside Galatasaray and their Danish opposition for a place in the knockout rounds.

United have endured a miserable start to the season and little about their late win over Fulham proved convincing. While ten Hag insists it showed the players were still fighting him amid a media storm surrounding his future, the jury is still out on this team. Should they lose in the Danish capital tonight, the pressure would only grow.

Marcus Rashford, however, has returned to the squad after a slight injury following him being spotted out in a nightclub not long after the Manchester derby. That is a major boost for United, with another defeat giving them a mountain to climb in Europe. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Marcus Rashford missed the win at Fulham after picking up a knock in training but travelled with the squad and is now expected to start in Denmark.

Victor Lindelof has overcome an illness but Raphael Varane will surely come into the team after curiously sitting out the trip to London and loss to Manchester City, partnering Harry Maguire at centre-back. Sergio Reguilon is fighting Diogo Dalot for a start at left-back.

Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo and Tyrell Malacia are longer-term injury absentees, while Jadon Sancho remains unavailable for selection.
