United look to keep CL hopes alive

Manchester United head to FC Copenhagen on Wednesday knowing they must win to keep their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stage alive.

A narrow 1-0 win in the reverse fixture was do or die. United did and must this week repeat the act with Bayern Munich and Galatasaray also fighting to qualify out of the group.

 They won this fixture 17 years ago, can they do it again?

United were again far from convincing in victory against Fulham last time out and head to Denmark with a record of just one win in seven on the road in the Champions League.

Marcus Rashford missed the win at Fulham after picking up a knock in training. He is not expected to be too serious as he travelled with the squad but is still a doubt.

Victor Lindelof will hope to have overcome an illness but Raphael Varane will surely come into the team after curiously sitting out the trip to London and loss to Manchester City, partnering Harry Maguire at centre-back. Sergio Reguilon is fighting Diogo Dalot for a start at left-back.
