    In the dying minutes of the second half, Copenhagen equalized through Lerager who scored in the 83rd minute. 4minutes later, Bardghji sealed the hosts' win, making the match 4-3 and totally shattering United's hopes of qualifying for the Round of 16.

    United after yesterday's loss sit bottom of group A with only 3points after 4games, with Bayern Munich who already qualified after their win against Galatasaray at 12points toping the group. Copenhagen and Galatasaray are 2nd and 4th repectively each with 4points.

    Manchester United's remaining two games are against FC Bayern Munich and Galatasary and these are MUST win games if the English side is to have any more hopes of qualifying to the next round or head into the Europa league.
