How Manchester United should line up vs FC Copenhagen in Champions League fixture
Manchester United have another must-win game against F.C. Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
United bounced back after successive 3-0 defeats against Manchester City and Newcastle to claim an important three points against Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday, despite the performance being unconvincing again.
Bruno Fernandes' late goal earned the victory at Craven Cottage and United are now hoping for consecutive wins against Copenhagen, who only narrowly lost in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.

Regarding the team news, Casemiro remains unavailable with a hamstring injury and he's set to be sidelined until Christmas, but Victor Lindelof will be available again after missing the Fulham game due to illness.
Our writers have had their say on how United should line up...
Samuel Luckhurst
United should go from one centre half who can play once a week to another. Raphael Varane for Jonny Evans would be the only logical change to the back four. Diogo Dalot improved on the left at Fulham.
Scott McTominay operated at a good tempo at the weekend and this is a game United need him in. Christian Eriksen was poor at the weekend but his canniness and experience could be key.
The dismal Antony should be nowhere near the starting side. Mason Mount has had a terrible time at United but he is preferable to Antony. Alejandro Garnacho was threatening in the second half on Saturday and needs regular starts to sharpen his rhythm.

Ten Hag is looking for consistency in his starting lineup but might be forced into a few changes tonight just to freshen things
