FC Copenhagen v Man Utd

FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United Preview

Onto Group A and British interest continues in the shape of Manchester United when they prepare for this return leg against FC Copenhagen at Parken on Wednesday night but this looks a potentially tricky outing as Copenhagen have won their last three games on the trot in all competitions while Manchester United have lost two of their last three games, and only managed a last-gasp winner against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

FC Copenhagen bring some winning momentum into this Matchday 4 encounter as the hosts look to lift themselves off the bottom of the Group A table where they have gained just one point to date but recent wins in the Danish Superliga against Hvidovre and Randers along with a 1-0 home win against Midtjylland in the domestic cup competition gives the hosts a welcome boost.

The Danish outfit have suffered just three defeats out of their last 14 matches in all competitions while results at home have been fairly encouraging as Jacob Neestrup's side have lost just three of their last 17 games at Parken in all competitions as well.

Results on home soil on the Champions League stage have been a little more modest but nevertheless, FC Copenhagen have lost just once in their previous eight ties, while five of these eight games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Manchester United made hard work of gaining all three points in Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham at Craven Cottage as it looked for all money that The Cottagers would hold out for a well-earned point against a decidedly lacklustre Red Devils outfit.

However, a rare flash of quality from United skipper, Bruno Fernandes, produced a late winner for Erik ten Hag's side who walked away with all three points but it was a far from convincing display from United who had previously slipped to back-to-back defeats against Manchester City in the Premier League and Newcastle United in the League Cup, both of which were on home soil at Old Trafford.

United have also produced far from convincing displays in the Champions League as well, winning just once in their opening three games in Group A which came in the form of a dour 1-0 home win against Wednesday night's opponents, FC Copenhagen, last time out at Old Trafford, but having previously suffered defeats at the hands of Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, it's hard to back Manchester United for the straight win here on Matchday 4.

In addition, United have won just once in their last seven outings on the road in this competition.
