Manchester United faced off against Danish club, FC Copenhagen in a crucial UEFA Champions League round-four fixture.
The game, deemed a must-win for Erik ten Hag's side, was a dramatic affair that ended in a defeat for the English giants.

The second half brought a glimmer of hope for the visitors as skipper, Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty after a handball by Copenhagen midfielder, Lukas Lerager.
