In tonight’s match, Rasmus Hojlund will face his former team and his twin brothers Emil and Oscar, who are both playing for FC Copenhagen. Both teams are determined to secure their first victory in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage. While Manchester United is seeking their first points, Copenhagen is also figҺting hard for their first win in Europe’s top competition this season.
Manchester United’s recent form has been inconsistent. They have played 12 official matches this season, recording 6 wins and 6 losses. Moreover, the Red Devils haven’t won three consecutive matches, raising doubts among fans about their ability to overcome the challenges posed by Copenhagen this time.
It is worth emphasizing that United’s performance at the Theater of Dreams has been quite poor, with 3 losses and 2 wins in their last five matches. In the previous Champions League game, they suffered a 2-3 defeat against Galatasaray, despite taking the lead through Rasmus Hojlund’s goal.
Meanwhile, Copenhagen hasn’t had a strong start to the season either. They have won 4, drawn 4, and lost 3 in their last 11 matches. However, there is a detail that should make United cautious – Copenhagen’s impressive away form. They are unbeaten in their last 12 away matches, including 8 wins and 4 draws (excluding friendly matches).
Therefore, fans are hoping that Jacob Neestrup’s team can maintain their strong away form and create significant challenges at Old Trafford, to see how Ten Hag and his players respond.
