Rasmus Hojlund’s poacher’s brace had the Red Devils coasting, but Marcus Rashford’s harsh red card changed the course of the match. The home team punished United by scoring two goals in the latter half of the first half and another two in the latter, dropping United to the bottom of the group.
In the Group A match, Ten Hag made three mistakes and one correct one, as examined by Daily Star Sport. United might potentially be eliminated from all European action.
In the first half of the match against Copenhagen, United was clearly the superior team as Hojlund scored twice in the first thirty minutes to give United the lead.
Ten Hag has seen his team rely on late goals far too often, and there was a moment during Wednesday’s game when it appeared to be going in favor of an easy win.
Ten Hag’s team had one of their best opening games of the season, even though Rashford’s red card gave the opposition the momentum they needed to win it.
Following Rashford’s contentious red card, United chose to follow the same strategy and quickly found themselves down to a one-goal advantage rather than holding things close.
The hosts’ chase was boosted by a moment of distraction as Harry Maguire’s arms were clumsily moved away from his body for their second goal.
Andre Onana did not produce any miracles from the penalty spot this time, and United did not regain control until the beginning of the second half, when they had one less player on the field.
Diogo Dalot’s lack of focus in the last minutes proved to be the undoing of United, and Maguire and Raphael Varane’s attempts to play out of the back ultimately proved costly as a penalty from Bruno Fernandes was missed.

He responded: “Surely it has to be game management from experienced players and internationals.” He added:” You’ve got to get the ball out and play in their half.”
The youthful attacker Hojlund was without a doubt United’s most dangerous forward that evening, but he was substituted off too soon.
With the scores tied, Ten Hag’s team needed a way out, but he was hauled out for Mason Mount, and Copenhagen quickly took the lead.
The late heroes were Lukas Lerager and Roony Bardghji. Currently ranked second in the group, Copenhagen is attempting an unusual path into the knockout stages.
