FC Copenhagen – Manchester United 0 – 2
Manchester United have traveled to Copenhagen for the very important Champions League match against FC Copenhagen in Group A. There are two teams that are dependent on three points to keep up with German football giants Bayern Munich at the top of the group.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag made just one change to the team that narrowly beat Fulham in the weekend’s Premier League round.
LATEST: Manchester United double their lead! Who else but Rasmus Højlund on his old home ground? Set his second for the evening.
– If goal number one was easy, then 2-0 is the easiest Danes have scored, commented TV 2’s football expert Brede Hangeland.
– FCK are usually so strong at home, they get stuffed here in the first half hour, concludes TV 2’s commentator Øyvind Alsaker.
The local newspaper Manchester Evening News sees a total change in the Manchester United team.

Court storming after nine minutes, a spectator has entered the court. The spectator ran with a banner, without the TV images showing what it said. The message is about the terrible things that are happening in the Middle East, says TV 2’s commentator Øyvind Alsaker on TV 2’s broadcast.
Dream start
Rasmus Højlund is back in the Park with a bang! Sends the away team in the lead after a great game!
– What a start! Fantastic from United. It is a score from a team with identity. Perfect start in the Park, writes local newspaper Manchester Evening News in its live coverage of the match.
Criticism before the match
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes questioned his old club’s squad ahead of the match in Denmark.
– I don’t think they don’t try, I just think that in terms of ability it’s a very limited squad, says Scholes on TNT Sports’ broadcast before the match in Parken.
Printers: – No!
In recent weeks, Manchester United have been criticized by experts for not having any identity in the game. At the same time, the attacking players have struggled to find their way to the net, especially in the Premier League. There, it is Rashford’s one goal in the league that is the reserve among the attackers.
This is how the teams started:
FC Copenhagen:
Grabara, Ankersen, Vavro, Diks, Jelert, Lerager, Falk, Gonçalves, Elyounussi, Achouri, Claesson.
New situation: – Difficult
Manchester United:
Maguire, Evans, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes, Garnacho, Rashford, Højlund.
