Rasmus Hojlund opens the scoring as Manchester United take an early lead against Copenhagen.
It was Aaron Wan-Bissaka who picked out a brilliant run from midfield by Scott McTominay, who doesn’t panic before looking up and picking out Hojlund with a low cross at the back post.
The goal gives United an early goal and one they needed. Now it’s a matter of keeping hold of this lead and adding to our lead before half-time.
GOAL!

Hojlund’s strike will go down as his fourth Champions League goal for United.
A sign of things to come tonight? We certainly hope so.
United have been clever in their approach thus far by slowing down the tempo of the game. Both Evans and Maguire seem happy to have the ball, with Copenhagen standing off.
We’ve looked comfortable.
