Rashford let his team down when he received a direct red card when his team was leading with 2 goals.

FC Copenhagen defeated Manchester United 4-3 at Parken Stadium as the Danish side was trailing by 2 goals, but everything changed for them when Rashford was sent off near the end of the 1st half.

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in the 1st 28 minutes of the match to give the Red Devils 2 goals lead in Denmark. Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho provided the assists for Hojlund’s brace.

Everything went smoothly for the Premier League side until the 42nd minute when Marcus Rashford received a direct red card and left his team with 10-man on the pitch. The shock for Manchester United until the end of the 1st half was even greater because FC Copenhagen scored twice and tied the match 2-2 after the first 45 minutes.

Mohamed Elyounoussi scored in the 45th minute for 2-1 after Diogo Goncalves’s assist, and Diogo Goncalves himself converted a penalty in the extra time of the 1st half to even the result.

However, even with 1 less man on the pitch, Man Utd got the lead again after Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 69th minute as VAR gave the Red Devils a penalty after a very controversial handball by the Danish team defender.

That wasn’t all and the home club tied the result again as Rasmus Falk netted in the 83rd minute for 3-3. To make things even worse for ten Hag and his side, Copenhagen took the lead for the 1st time in the match in the 87th minute after a fantastic shot from Roony Bardghji.

FC Copenhagen is in 2nd place with 4 points after 4 matches in Group A, while Manchester United is in the last place with only 3 points after 4 games.
