Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen LIVE!

FC Copenhagen put up a good fight as they took the game to extra-time, but Fernandes' spot-kick following a foul on Anthony Martial was enough for a United win.

Prediction: Man United 2-0 FC Copenhagen
The Danish side gave Istanbul a susprise in the last round, so United will have to be wary. However, with Solskjaer's star players having been afforded a much-needed rest, they should return and get the win.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
The sides have met twice before in Uefa competitions, back in the 2006/07 Champions League group stages.
Copenhagen won 1-0 in the Danish capital, but United won the return match 3-0 thanks to goals from Paul Scholes, John O'Shea and Kieran Richardson.

Here's more on that Jadon Sancho news...
Borussia Dortmund director Michael Zorc has revealed the club are not planning to sell Jadon Sancho this summer.
Zorc insists Sancho - who has travelled with his Dortmund team-mates for a pre-season training camp - will play next season play for Dortmund, who are planning for his stay.
Meanwhile, Zorc also revealed Sancho has not signed a new contract having extended his stay until 2023 last year.
“We plan with Jadon Sancho," Zorc said in a press conference. "He will play with us next season. I think that answers all the questions."
He added: "Last summer we adjusted Jadon's salary to match the development of his performances. So in context, we had already extended his contract until 2023 back then."
Manchester United had been given a two-week deadline to complete the signing of Sancho, which ended today.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to confirm if Sergio Romero will hold onto his place in the Europa League.
Romero has largely been used as United’s cup goalkeeper – and has played the majority of their games in Europe this season.
The Argentine played in the final when United last won the competition in 2017.
But Solskjaer revealed after Wednesday's last-16 tie against LASK that he would call upon his star players for the latter rounds of the tournament.
That places doubt over Romero’s position, with David de Gea among the squad who have travelled to Cologne for tonight's quarter-final.
Solskjaer said: “This season has shown how important Sergio has been for us and for me David is always, always performing.
“We will see what we do for the rest of the season and going forward. It’s difficult, but it’s a nice problem to have.”
