Manchester United must secure victory over FC Copenhagen to stay in Champions League race
Posted : 24 October 2023
Manchester United faces a critical showdown with FC Copenhagen as they strive to secure a spot in the Champions League knockout rounds, emphasized manager Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils currently find themselves at the bottom of Group A, having suffered defeats in their first two group-stage matches against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. The visit of FC Copenhagen, the reigning champions of Denmark, to Old Trafford on Tuesday presents a must-win situation, according to Ten Hag.
Addressing the media on Monday, Ten Hag stressed the significance of this match: "If you lose the first two games, you have to win." He acknowledged the weight of the moment, particularly in light of the emotional atmosphere at Old Trafford following the recent passing of club legend Sir Bobby Charlton. The fans' unwavering support and inspiration from legends like Charlton, Denis Law, and George Best remain a driving force for United, making the upcoming game even more poignant.
United's quest for a revival is gaining momentum, with back-to-back narrow victories over Brentford and Sheffield United. They hope to secure a third consecutive win for the first time since May, and full-back Diogo Dalot sees these victories as vital in building confidence and momentum.
As Dalot aptly puts it, "Every game for us is an opportunity to show we want to build confidence, build momentum," and they aim to harness these recent wins to rejuvenate their campaign and secure a positive outcome against FC Copenhagen.
