Manchester United Faces Copenhagen in Champions League, Honours Sir Bobby Charlton and Banks on Rasmus Hojlund for Victory

Manchester United leans on Rasmus Hojlund in emotional match following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, having already struggled in Champions League Group A with two opening defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

Manchester United faces an important Champions League match against FC Copenhagen, which marks the team's first home game since the passing of legendary player, Sir Bobby Charlton. They are honouring Charlton's legacy with a pre-match tribute, a minute of silence, and the team would potentially wear black armbands.
The match holds special significance for United's centre-forward Rasmus Hojlund, who made his professional debut for Copenhagen. The 20-year-old Danish player had shown strong performances in the previous Champions League matches, scoring three goals across the two opening defeats.
Manchester United opted for Rasmus Hojlund over other players such as Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, Randal Kolo Muani, Evan Ferguson and Ollie Watkins, despite Hojlund's yet to record a goal in the Premier League. Hojlund was signed from Atalanta over the summer for a transfer fee of £72 million.
The match against FC Copenhagen is crucial for United as they have struggled with two opening defeats in their Champions League Group. United's manager, Erik ten Hag, indicated that they cannot afford to drop more points and emphasized the need for a win.
Erik Ten Hag has urged his players to channel the spirit of Sir Bobby Charlton and deliver the perfect tribute to the club’s legendary former captain by beating Copenhagen in style. Meanwhile, United's left back Sergio Reguilon could return after missing previous matches due to an illness.
