Still seemingly stuck in the mud, Manchester United turn their attentions to their dire Champions League situation as they host FC Copenhagen in a Group A encounter.
United, fresh off narrow league wins over Brentford and Sheffield United, are sitting bottom of their group thanks to two defeats from two so far. They must collect all three points here at home if they wish to have a chance at advancing to the knockout stages.
Scott McTominay has rescued United on both recent league occasions, scoring a dramatic pair of stoppage time goals to beat Brentford, followed by bagging the opener against Sheffield United. While that's an exciting turn of events, it's also a foreboding long-term sign that a backup midfielder has been forced to do the business up front.
FC Copenhagen lead the Danish Superliga table, collecting 26 points off 12 games thus far, but they've only won three of their last seven league games domestically. They have, however, proven feisty in continental play, only falling to Bayern Munich 2-1 on an 83rd minute goal, while only blowing a two-goal lead late to Galatasaray thanks to a 73rd minute red card.

Man United vs FC Copenhagen projected lineups & team news
Manchester United have a long list of injuries and other availability issues to contend with, contributing to the struggles early this season. Casemiro is suspended for this match after being sent off against Galatasaray, while Jadon Sancho is still out of the squad after a bust-up with Erik ten Hag.
The back line has been devastated by injuries, with Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all sidelined, while Sergio Reguilon may return after muscle injury and Jonny Evans has a knock. If Reguilon can't play, it would push Victor Lindelof out to left back – where he played at Sheffield United.
Man United projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon — Amrabat, Mount — Antony, Fernandes, Rashford — Hojlund.
Midfielder William Clem is FC Copenhagen's only serious injury concern, as the 19-year-old recovers from a broken leg. They could, however, also miss left-back Birger Meling who missed the weekend's match with a fitness issue.
Mohamed Elyounoussi, who arrived from Southampton in the summer, is familiar with the Premier League and is in good form, scoring his second league goal of the season over the weekend while also collecting one in the Champions League against Galatasaray,
FC Copenhagen projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Grabara (GK) — Jelert, Vavro, Diks, Meling — Goncalves, Falk, Claesson — Bardghji, Larsson, Elyounoussi.
