What Erik ten Hag told Manchester United players in dressing room after Copenhagen loss

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag is adamant fortune will eventually turn in Manchester United's favour, despite a ninth defeat of the season. United have lost more games than they have won after Copenhagen recovered from 2-0 down and 3-2 down to prevail 4-3 in a dramatic Champions League group stage encounter.

The loss leaves United bottom of Group A with two games to play and if they lose to Galatasaray in Istanbul in three weeks they will be out of the Champions League.

United were excellent until Marcus Rashford was sent off in the 42nd minute in the Parken Stadium and they regained the lead with 10 men through Bruno Fernandes in the second half.

Copenhagen equalised in the 83rd minute and 17-year-old Roony Bardghji slammed in the winner four minutes later.
