Manchester United is risking its life in the UEFA Champions League. Erik Ten Hag's team is significantly placed among the main candidates to qualify for the best 16 of the tournament. However, things have not gone as expected. The Old Trafford team has fallen in its first two games in the Champions League and a defeat against Copenhagen could mean its elimination from the tournament.

 

For this match, the Red Devil team arrives with important additions. Manchester United has managed to position itself as one of the clubs with the best reinforcements in the summer, but injuries have meant that not all of its team is available at the start of the season. However, Ten Hag has the return of Sergio Reguilon and Raphael Varane for this match, two important players for the defense who can contribute greatly. Ten Hag will also have to get a hand in the middle zone. Brazilian midfielder Casemiro was sent off the previous day, against Galatasaray.

"Sergio got sick on Saturday, but he was already fit. He trained all last week and yesterday he returned to work partially. He is going to participate in today's practice, so then we will evaluate if he is ready to play or not. No. We have to wait for that," said the Dutch coach in the run-up to the duel against the Danes. Now, the player is positioned in an important way to debut in the Champions League with his team.

 

The Manchester United lineup

The English team will start as follows. André Onana; Diogo Dalot, Raphaël Varane, Harry Maguire, Sergio Reguilón; Sofyan Amrabat, Antony, McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford; Rasmus Hojlund. On the other hand, he confirmed several absences before leaving for England to face United at Old Trafford. Precisely three: William Clem, Birger Meling and Andreas Cornelius. A situation that the English club wants to take advantage of this season.
