Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be desperate to see his side record their first Champions League win of the season on Tuesday night.
United have yet to register a point in the competition this season and sit rock bottom of Group A. Anything less than a victory over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night will put the Reds' progression to the knockout stages of the competition in severe jeopardy.

Goalkeeper - Andre Onana
He might have had a tough start to life in Manchester but Onana's performance against Sheffield United was solid. The Cameroonian could do little to stop Oli McBurnie's penalty and there isn't much to suggest he will be dropped tomorrow.
Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Sergio Reguilon
Reguilon and Varane could both start for United on Tuesday night. The Frenchman replaced Jonny Evans in the latter stages against the Blades and seeing him back in the starting line-up would be a huge boost.

Casemiro returned to training at Carrington on Monday but is suspended for this one so Amrabat will keep his place. McTominay is on fire in front of goal and is likely to keep his place while captain Fernandes is undroppable.

United have endured their worst start to a season since 1973-74 - the last time they were relegated - by losing nine of their opening 17 games.
Erik ten Hag insists there is no issue between him and Manchester United defender Raphael Varane amid the centre-half's curious lack of playing time. Varane has started in only one of United's last seven games and Ten Hag selected the 35-year-old Jonny Evans over Varane against Sheffield United, Manchester City, Fulham and Copenhagen.
