Manchester United will welcome back Marcus Rashford but still question marks on whether Raphael Varane will start as the Red Devils seek maximum points in Denmark
Manchester United head to FC Copenhagen knowing they must win on Wednesday to keep their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stage alive.
A narrow 1-0 win in the reverse fixture was do or die. United did and must this week repeat the act with Bayern Munich and Galatasaray also fighting to qualify out of the group.
The Danish hosts will have taken plenty of positives from their trip to Old Trafford, with only a Harry Maguire header and a last-gasp Andre Onana penalty save preventing them from points. They won this fixture 17 years ago, can they do it again?
