Manchester United-Copenaghen is a match on the third day of the Champions League group stage and is played Tuesday at 9 p.m.: tv, predictions.
Bonuses are coming to an end for a Manchester United side that after two days is still scoreless in the Champions League and surprisingly lies in last place in the Group A standings.
The Red Devils, in spite of their nickname, can no longer afford to play with fire: after the double defeat against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray it becomes imperative to make it two out of two against the Danes of Copenhagen, who at the moment even have one point more, the result of the draw on the debut in Turkey. Returning to Erik ten Hag’s team, the 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford against Icardi and his teammates, who were able to overturn United thanks to the decisive goal of the former Inter Milan striker, who a few minutes earlier had missed a penalty kick, has the resounding edge. An absurd knockout that seriously rattled the bench of the Dutch coach, who ended up in the eye of the storm. Ten Hag, however, remains under scrutiny, despite two consecutive victories against Brentford and Sheffield United, which were especially useful in allowing the former Ajax coach to breathe again.
United still at zero
Continues to worry a defense that has remained inviolate only twice since the season began: a permeability to which former Inter goalkeeper Onana, among the main negative protagonists with his numerous uncertainties, has also contributed.
Grabara and Meling
In such a situation, it would be a grave mistake to underestimate Copenhagen, which, despite being the least equipped team in this round, has so far performed well, coming close to victory in Istanbul (2-2) and putting fear into a battleship like Bayern Munich for about 70 minutes before being put back (1-2) in the final. In Superligaen, Jacob Neestrup’s men just got back to winning ways – beating Vejle 2-1 – remaining at the top of the standings, one point ahead of Silkeborg and Brondby.
The Prediction
Manchester United, while having to contend with a few too many absences-one above all that of Casemiro-has no alternative but to win if it wants to avoid falling behind in the standings. Copenhagen is a very tactically organized team and is unlikely to suffer a setback against an opponent better equipped but still in the hunt for certainties. Success United but the Danes should at least score a goal.
The probable lineups of Manchester United-Copenaghen
- MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Eriksen, McTominay; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.
- COPENAGHEN (4-3-3): Grabara; Jelert, Diks, Vavro, Sorensen; Lerager, Falk, Claesson; Achouri, Larsson, Elyounoussi.
