The Denmark international netted twice in the first half against his former club FC Copenhagen but, as was the case against Galatasaray at Old Trafford, his brace ultimately proved in vain in terms of the match's outcome.
However, his goals in the Danish capital did make him one of a handful of United men to have netted in an away fixture in their own nation, in our illustrious history in Europe's top competition.
Cristiano Ronaldo has managed it on two separate occasions, firstly with a header away to his boyhood club Sporting in Lisbon, and then with our Goal of the Season in 2008/09, an absolute rocket from long range against Porto.
