Rasmus Hojlund aimed a subtle dig at Marcus Rashford following Manchester United’s disastrous 4-3 defeat against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night. United are staring a Champions League group-stage exit in the face after Rashford’s red card switched the game on its head at Parken.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag’s side produced their strongest performance of the season in the opening 40 minutes, cruising into a 2-0 lead through Hojlund’s brace.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old striker notched his fourth and fifth Champions League goals of the season against his former club, starting what promised to be a jubilant night for United.<\/p>\n
But then Rashford harshly saw red after a VAR check for misplacing his foot onto a Copenhagen leg. Before half-time, it was 2-2.<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes fired United back ahead with a 69th-minute penalty; then came another collapse.<\/p>\n
Roony Bardghji, 17, became the youngest player to ever score against the Red Devils in the Champions League with his 87th-minute winner.<\/p>\n
After full-time, Hojlund cut a frustrated figure as he assessed United’s ninth defeat in 17 games this term.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, it is disappointing [the result]. I thought we started very well, to be honest. We controlled the game until the red card, and that changed the game,” Hojlund lamented.<\/p>\n
“If you don’t look at the result and only take the first 20 minutes into account, I think we did quite well. I think we switched off a little bit.”<\/p>\n
Hojlund added, with a slight smirk: “We did not think we were going to play a game with 10 men. Of course, it is also giving them some belief. I know how the crowd can help the team here, and it gave them a big boost.”<\/p>\n
“We also did quite well at the beginning of the second half. We were composed on the ball.<\/p>\n
“We kept switching the ball, and then we got the penalty to go in front again. But it’s unfortunate that we ended up with zero points again.”<\/p>\n
