Bruno Fernandes admits the mood in the Manchester United dressing room 'is not the best' after their 'disappointing' defeat to Copenhagen on Wednesday night. United sit at the bottom of Group A with just three points from four matches after they twice let a lead slip to lose 4-3 in Denmark.
Erik ten Hag's side had started the match well after two well-taken goals by Rasmus Hojlund against his former club, but the game turned on its head when Marcus Rashford was shown a controversial red card following a VAR check.
Copenhagen scored twice in two minutes to level before the break, but United responded well after it and regained the lead when Bruno Fernandes fired in an emphatic penalty. Lukas Lerager levelled things for the hosts seven minutes from time, before substitute Roony Bardghji netted a dramatic winner to add more misery to United's campaign.

Speaking after the match, club captain Fernandes was asked to give an insight into how the players had reacted to such a gut-wrenching defeat.
"Disappointment," he told MUTV of the dressing room mood. "I think for everything we did in the game, we could and should have gotten something. It is difficult at the moment, obviously, and the mood is not the best because I think we fought so hard with ten men that even from then on it was playing against a team that plays really well on the ball, and as a part of that, many decisions went against us.
"Today was a tough day but I think the team effort was good. We tried. We could have done some things better, but it was difficult for us from thirty minutes on, playing with one player less."
