The Red Devils are not in control of their own fate going into the final round of Group A fixtures, which sees them bottom of the group and a point below the pair of Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
Victory is therefore essential for United, who were smashed 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday. That combined with a draw in Denmark would then see them through to the last-16, while a Europa League consolation spot is on the cards if one end of the bargain is not held up.
However, it is not only Erik ten Hag’s side hoping to bounce back from a bad defeat with Bayern hammered 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich prediction
Bayern will surely produce a reaction to their big defeat on the weekend, and while the same can be said of United these big European nights have not been Ten Hag’s strength.
