The last round of the UEFA Europa League group stage match between the two sides saw a dramatic finish, with goalkeeper Oonana saving a 12-yard penalty from Jordan Nathan to help United seal a 1:0 win over Copenhagen.
Can the Red Devils get their act together? That's a difficult question to answer, given their continued inconsistency, but if they come back from this trip to Denmark with a win, I think they have a chance to make it to the Round of 16.
If they want to collect 3 points, their midfield must be solid. Since their defense is already quite weak, they need players with aggressive and tough style of play in the middle of the field. Casimiru's injury has seriously affected the team's deployment, in other words, McDonald should play an important role in this match.
Their leader Tannhäuser will need a good performance from the stars in his squad. Rashford has been a bit of a dud lately, but he is able to cause problems for the opposing defense with his speed on the wings. When the opposing team makes a mistake and starts a counterattack, it will be crucial for Bono Fernandes to pass the ball to his teammates in front of him and contribute a goal from this attacking midfield position.
Since Copenhagen only got 1 point in the first 3 rounds of the group stage, they need to win this match to keep their hopes of qualifying.
I believe that the Danish side could have a sweet spot on the wing, with a pair of wingers, Mohamed El Yunos and Angoli, who have the ability to cause problems for their opponents with their high speed. Manchester United will switch to a pair of right and left wingers every game, and I think they can attack this area strongly.
In addition, dead ball handling will be critical, as the Red Devils often fail to defend against free kicks, and Copenhagen, with its bigger players, may be able to gain an advantage when receiving crosses.
We should also keep an eye on Bakich, a 17 year old youngster who has scored a number of goals in the local league this season. He has the potential to be a star of tomorrow, and although he may not start in the starting lineup, we may see him come in as a backup in the second half of the game.
