Frustration and bitterness - what Man Utd can expect from Copenhagen

As Andre Onana was mobbed by his Manchester United teammates a fortnight ago, the feeling around Old Trafford was more relief than anything else.

“I think the feeling was very bitter,” Christian Kraglund, a sports journalist for Danish outlet TV2 Sport, tells the Manchester Evening News. “Especially looking at the missed penalty in the last minute because it wouldn’t have been undeserved for Copenhagen to have got at least a point. That last decade has seen plenty of teams fly to the Danish capital expecting to win before being given a rude awakening. They went unbeaten in last year's Champions League group stage at Parken Stadium, drawing against Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and eventual champions Manchester City.

They have won their last three on the road against Fulham, Sheffield United and Burnley but scraped through in each. And those performances have only done more to encourage Wednesday's hosts, who have taken confidence from pushing Bayern Munich until the 83rd minute in their last Champions League home game.

Wednesday's trip to Denmark will also see Rasmus Hojlund return to the ground where he made a name for himself in senior football at 17. He only played 32 times for Copenhagen before earning a move to Austrian side Sturm Graz and then Atalanta in Italy.
