Manchester United surrender lead in UCL loss to Copenhagen

Manchester United gave up a two-goal lead in a breathless 4-3 Champions League loss to FC Copenhagen on Wednesday that turned after Marcus Rashford was shown a red card following a brace by young United striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The loss was a calamitous setback in United's hopes for last-16 qualification with Erik ten Hag's side fourth in Group A on three points with two group games still to play.

Hojlund fired United to a brilliant start in a rollercoaster first half, scoring his first when the game was just 171 seconds old by tucking in Scott McTominay's pass from close range.
