Man United's Champions League hopes are all but over after a disastrous defeat to FC Copenhagen.
Erik ten Hag wanted a win more than anything but he did not get it. Instead, his Manchester United side put on a calamity of epic proportions, somehow managing to combine their most impressive performance of the season with not one but two collapses.
It's just about within the realm of possibility but the odds are against a United side who don't seem to have a strong enough chin for this sort of slugfest. But despite a disastrous night in Copenhagen, Ten Hag might have just got what he needed. They had gone ahead within minutes with a brilliantly crafted goal, the first strike of the season seemingly created through an actual plan and build-up play rather than a hit-and-hope shot or set piece. Then they doubled the lead with a blistering counter as Hojlund grabbed his second. A much-needed boost for a striker who has struggled to find the back of the net.
