Erik ten Hag blamed "three tough decisions" for Manchester United's 4-3 defeat in Copenhagen that leaves their chances of progressing to the Champions League knockouts in tatters.

United's Rasmus Hojlund scored twice against his former club but a red card shown to fellow United striker Marcus Rashford saw the tie swing in the Danes' favour.

Rashford was sent off after a VAR review late in the first half for catching Elias Jelert on the ankle, with Mohamed Elyounoussi quickly scoring before Diogo Goncalves levelled from the spot.

Bruno Fernandes’ penalty put the visitors back ahead in the second half, only for Lukas Lerager and substitute Roony Bardghji to score in a blockbuster conclusion to a chaotic match. “It’s clear we’re very disappointed and because you play very good,” Ten Hag said. “I think we started the game so well.
