Manchester United's hope of qualifying for the round 16 stage of the UEFA Champions League has hit another snag after FC Copenhagen beat Erik Ten Hag's side by 4-3

It was Manchester United's third defeats in 4 UCL matches this season which leaves them languishing at the bottom of the Group A with just 3 points.

Rasmund Hojlund gave the Red Devils a two-goal lead in the opening quarter of an hour before the home side cancelled the two-goal lead on the stroke of halftime following Marcus Rashford's straight red card in the 42nd minute.

Despite being a man down, Bruno Fernandes gave United the lead again from the spot in the 62nd minute but Copenhagen fought back with two late goals to snatch the win from the Premier League giants.

The defeat leaves lots of doubts on Erik Ten Hag's future as Manchester United boss following a string of poor results in recent games.
