Man United are in control of their own demise! The villain, the reckless Marcus Rashford, leads the 10-man Red Devils to surrender in Copenhagen.
The hosts won 4-3 after the Red Devils were leading 2-0 when the attacker was sent off, causing a total collapse in the second half.
After an intense night in Copenhagen that saw seven goals, two penalties, and a red card, Manchester United’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are in shambles. Erik ten Hag’s team, who lost 4-3 on Wednesday night, is now bottom of Group A with three points thanks to a stunning comeback by the Danish team.
After three minutes, Rasmus Hojlund gave United the lead with a close-range tap-in. It all started fairly well. The Danish striker extended his lead before the half-hour mark, tapping into an empty net after Alejandro Garnacho’s drive had been parried into his path.

However, Ten Hag’s team was unable to hold onto the lead as the home team persisted and produced a stunning comeback. After 83 minutes, Lukas Lerager scored the equalizer. Shortly after, 17-year-old Roony Bardghji took advantage of further terrible defending to grab the victory with a brilliant finish.
Andre Onana (6/10) is one of United’s Parken Stadium players rated by GOAL.
Little he could have done to help the goals, although he made a few excellent stops and controlled his penalty area.
Sixth grader Aaron Wan-Bissaka:
overlapped on the right, played a critical role in establishing the opening goal, and made many important defensive saves.
Harry Maguire: 6 out of 10
оverall appearance and cоmpоsed play оn the ball were lacking, yet a disastrоus play cоst them the penalty.
Evans Jonny (N/A):
went Ԁоwn less tҺаn fιfteen mιnutes ιn wιtҺ аn ιnjury.
Diogo Dalot (Rank: 5/10):
helpful with the ball on the left side, but Copenhagen’s third goal came from losing sight of Lerager.
McTominay, Scott (6/10):
Excellent maneuver to breach the area and provide the ideal low pass to Hojlund for the first goal.
Eriksen, Christian (5/10):
Saw enough of the ball in the first half, but he was under pressure after getting sent off and his passing was subpar. logically switched out for the second half.
Fernandes, Bruno (7/10):
made several deft passes, astute runs without the ball, and a flawless penalty conversion.
Mark Rashford (3 out of 10):
Hadn’t performed well before to being substituted late in the first half after catching an opponent’s ankle.
Hojlund Rasmus (8/10):
scored two tap-ins, but both times he used his strength and quickness well, as well as great movement and location.
Alejandro Garnacho (score of six):
Vivacious on the left wing, he contributed to the second goal’s creation but was occasionally taken out easily.
