Prediction

Manchester United are showing signs of a renaissance of form domestically. Erik Ten Hag will look to replicate the new-found form and confidence in the Champions League as they look tot turn their form around in the competition.

Copenhagen are winless in the opening two matches and have collected a point from six. They will look to be robust and solid in their approach and attack on the counter against a Manchester United side expected to dominate the ball and control the tempo.

Manchester United will win the match and get their first points in Group A on board as they begin to turn their European campaign around.
