Marcus Rashford sent off for Man Utd vs Copenhagen, he has as many red cards as goals this season

Marcus Rashford has been sent off for Manchester United against Copenhagen.

United are currently third in Group A after losing to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. A narrow win against Copenhagen last time out kept their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.

United got off to a perfect start after summer signing Rasmus Hojlund scored inside three minutes to make it 1-0. 12 minutes later, the Danish striker was in the right place at the right time to make it 2-0 after Alejandro Garnacho's left foot shot was parried by Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabara.

The Englishman lost control of the ball and caught the Copenhagen player on the leg. As a result, he will miss United’s crucial match against Galatasaray.

A few minutes later, Copenhagen got themselves back into the match after former Southampton man Mohamed Elyounoussi finished off a fine move.

Deep into injury time at the end of the first half, Copenhagen were given a golden opportunity to draw level after Harry Maguire was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the penalty area.
