Manchester United will make the trip to Parken to take on FC Copenhagen in a Group A fixture of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night. The hosts will be hoping to avenge their narrow 1-0 loss in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford two weeks ago. Harry Maguire’s 72nd-minute header separated the two sides in Manchester and handed the Red Devils their lone European success this term, while their other two group fixtures ended in defeats. With three points to their name from as many games, the Premier League outfit are sitting at the third spot in the four-team table, two points clear of the Danes.

Copenhagen started their Champions League group stage campaign with a thrilling 2-2 draw away to Galatasaray on September 19. However, the Danes then suffered back-to-back defeats from their next two Group A fixtures against the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester United. After pocketing just a solitary point from their first three group games, the Lions face an uphill task to secure a top two finish in the standings as they are currently languishing at the bottom of the table three points adrift of second-placed Galatasaray, who travel to leaders Bayern Munich in their next match. Since their narrow defeat to United at Old Trafford, Byens Hold secured three successive domestic victories over the likes of Hadivore IF, Midtjylland and Randers FC, scoring 12 goals and keeping two clean sheets in the process. Their last outing ended in a 4-2 win away to Randers in the Superliga thanks to one goal each from Rasmus Falk, Viktor Claesson, Jordan Larsson and Victor Froholdt. The result helped Copenhagen to move to 32 points from 14 league games, three points clear of second-placed Brondy in the Danish top flight standings.
Manchester United, on the other hand, since taking all three Champions League points against Copenhagen on October 24, suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle United in the Premier League and EFL Cup respectively. Nevertheless, Erik ten Hag’s men managed to bounce back with a slender top flight victory over Fulham last time out thanks to Bruno Fernandez’s lone goal in the 91st minute. It was their sixth league win of the season and the Red Devils are currently occupying eighth spot in the English top flight standings. On the whole, United have recorded six wins and four defeats from their last ten outings in all competitions. Meanwhile, the English club has prevailed in three of their last four encounters against the Lions.
Copenhagen probable starting lineup: Grabara, Ankersen, Vavro, Diks, Jelert, Lerager, Falk, Goncalves, Larsson, Claesson, Achouri
Manchester United probable starting lineup: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Pellistri, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
