Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Copenhagen

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 05 November 2023

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Copenhagen.

Manchester United will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins over Copenhagen in Group A when the two teams again lock horns in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils recorded a 1-0 victory in the reverse match at Old Trafford last month, with Harry Maguire netting the only goal of the contest in the second period.

Erik ten Hag's side are third in Group A on three points, one point behind second-placed Galatasaray, and they will enter this match off the back of a 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Copenhagen, who are bottom of the European section on one point.
