Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h and odds today

Manchester United are tonight facing a must-win Champions League meeting with FC Copenhagen.

It has been a disastrous start to their European campaign so far for Erik ten Hag's side, who followed their opening defeat away at Bayern Munich with a shock home loss to Galatasaray.

Those two losses leave United bottom of Group A and already well off the pace, with six points almost a necessity from the upcoming back-to-back matches against Copenhagen.

The Danish side have just one point but that should be significantly more. Copenhagen had a two-goal lead against Galatasaray before conceding twice in the final few minutes to draw, while Bayern also struck late when coming from behind to win before the international break.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time today on Tuesday October 24, 2023.

Old Trafford in Manchester will host the contest.

Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen prediction

More dropped points here and United will be left with a mountain to climb if they want to play Champions League football beyond Christmas.

Ten Hag's men continue to look unconvincing, the wins they have had in recent weeks coming in battling fashion, but they should have enough here to get up and running in Europe.

Manchester United to win, 2-1.
