Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Champions League group stage clash with FC Copenhagen at Parken Stadium this evening.
United, who edged past the Danish side at Old Trafford just over a fortnight ago, winning 1-0, will be going in search of a second successive win following Saturday's dramatic triumph over Fulham. Bruno Fernandes scored a last-gasp winner to prevent the Reds from going three games without scoring.
It means Ten Hag will be determined to see his side build on the weekend's heroics on the banks of the Thames and boost their chances of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. The Dutchman has decided to make just one change from the aforementioned win, welcoming Marcus Rashford back into the side.

The attacker, who missed out at the weekend through injury, has replaced Antony in the starting XI. He has joined Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho in attack.
Meanwhile, Raphael Varane, Sergio Reguilon and youngster Omari Forson are among those to have been named on the bench. However, the likes of Luke Shaw and Amad remain unavailable through injury.
Having made the decision to make just one change to the side that was victorious against Fulham, Ten Hag will be hoping to see another victory from his team, as they aim to boost their chances of reaching the knockout stages. It is, however, the exclusion of Mason Mount from the starting line-up that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed.
