Reduced to 10 men, United struggled to maintain their lead, with quick-fire goals from Mohammed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves levelling the score before half-time.

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.

While Man United supporters were left disheartened by the defeat, Copenhagen exacerbated their disappointment by trolling Erik ten Hag's team on social media afterwards.
