Manchester United lost in their away game in Denmark. Marcus Rashford received a red card.

Manchester United lost 3-4 to Copenhagen in the 4th match of Group A of the 2023/2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage held at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark on the 9th (Korean time).

Manchester United ranked last in the group with 3 points (1 win, 3 losses).

The away team, Manchester United, went with a 4-2-3-1. Andre Onana guarded the goal. Diogo Dalot, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka made up the defensive line. Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay were located in midfield, while Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford worked together in the second line. The frontline striker was Rasmus Hoilun.

The home team, Copenhagen, went in 4-3-3. Camille Grabara puts on goalkeeper gloves. Peter Jankersen, Denis Barbrow, Kevin Dix and Elias Yellert made up the back four. Lucas Leraher, Rasmus Polk, and Diogo Goncalves made up the midfield. Mohamed Elionussi, Viktor Claesson, and Elias Ashuri appeared as the top three at the front.

From the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead. In the 3rd minute of the first half, Manchester United did well to relieve Copenhagen’s pressure. Manchester United advanced to the right with Bruno’s long pass, and Wan-Bissaka came overlapping. At this time, McTominay exquisitely dug into the empty space. Hoirun scored the first goal by lightly pushing in McTominay’s cross.

Manchester United has an injury issue. In the 13th minute of the first half, Evans collapsed. The game looked like it would be difficult to play. Raphael Varane was immediately put on the pitch.

Manchester United scored an additional goal. Copenhagen’s center of gravity was tilted too far forward. Garnacho went forward and tried to shoot, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper did not hit the ball properly, and Hoeylun, who was following, finished comfortably.

Hoeyrun was kicked out, so he aimed for a hat trick. In the 29th minute of the first half, when Manchester United regained possession through pressure, Hoirun immediately attempted a left-footed shot. This time he was stopped by a goalkeeper save. In the following corner kick, Maguire hit it squarely on the head, but the goalkeeper handled it well.

Bad news has struck Manchester United. Before Hoilun’s shot, it was confirmed through video review (VAR) that Rashford stepped on the inside of the opponent’s ankle when cutting the ball. After the referee confirmed this, he immediately ordered a direct exit. In the end, Rashford finished the game in 43 minutes of the first half.

Manchester United took the lead again with a penalty kick. In the 23rd minute of the second half, a penalty kick was declared due to an opponent’s handball in the penalty box, and kicker Bruno Fernandez succeeded to make it 3-2.

However, Copenhagen’s attack, led by numerical inferiority, ultimately defeated Manchester United. First, they allowed Lucas Leraher to equalize 3-3 in the 37th minute of the second half.

Manchester United, who had been blocking the opponent’s attack with one player short, could be satisfied with one point, but Copenhagen did not stop. Four minutes later, Rooney Vardagi scored a comeback goal to make it 4-3.

Coach Eric Tenhag tried to save at least one point by upgrading midfielder Mason Mount to a striker, but Manchester United could not overcome the one-goal difference and suffered a 3-4 defeat. In extra time in the second half, Maguire’s right-footed hard shot hit the goal post.
