In a thrilling encounter, Manchester United faced a 4-3 loss against Copenhagen, leaving their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread. Rasmus Hojlund, the 20-year-old striker, showcased brilliance by scoring two goals in the first 30 minutes, setting a record for the first United player to score five goals in his initial four Champions League matches.
Despite the setback, Hojlund defended coach Erik ten Hag, describing him as a “really good coach” who pays attention to every detail and instills confidence in the players. Hojlund expressed optimism, attributing the team’s struggles to a matter of time before achieving success.
Ten Hag, undeterred by the defeat, praised his team’s performance and attributed their misery to poor refereeing decisions. With their third loss in four Champions League appearances, United finds themselves at the bottom of their group, needing victories against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich to progress.
Looking ahead, Hojlund aims to break his Premier League goal drought in the upcoming match against Luton Town, hoping to contribute to United’s resurgence. The pressure on Ten Hag intensifies as Manchester United faces a crucial period in their campaign, striving to turn the tide in both domestic and European competitions.
