UEFA Champions League: Manchester United In A Make Or Mar Tie

Sharing is caring

Manchester United Forward Marcus Rashford is expected to be in the squad for the Champions League trip to FC Copenhagen tonight.

Rashford, who has struggled for form this season, missed the 1-0 win at Fulham after a knock in training.

But he will travel for tonight’s game, looking to improve on his record of one goal in 14 games so far.

Rashford was United’s top scorer last season with 30 goals across all competitions, but has only scored once this season in a 3-1 loss to Arsenal in September.

Defender Victor Lindelof is also back in the squad for the game at Copenhagen, having missed Saturday’s game at Fulham which the Red Devils won thanks to a late Bruno Fernandes’ goal.

Full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka could make his first European appearance of the season after recovering from injury, while 19-year-old Omari Forson has travelled with the team.

Midfielder Casemiro remains sidelined with a hamstring issue, while defenders Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are all completely out.

United have endured a very horible start to the season, including back-to-back 3-0 home losses to rivals Manchester City in the Premier League and Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.
The win at Fulham was just their eighth from 16 games in all competitions so far this campaign.

The Red Devils began the Champions League group stage with two losses but Harry Maguire’s header and Andre Onana’s injury-time penalty save gave them their first points in the home game with Copenhagen two weeks ago.

They are six points behind group leaders Bayern Munich, with Turkish side Galatasaray second, a point above United before Wednesday’s fixtures.

A second victory over Copenhagen would thrust United back into contention for the last 16, however, if United’s current form is anything to go by they must work harder to come out with a good result from the Danish Capital.
