Manchester United return to Champions League action on Tuesday night with a must-win clash with FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag’s side ultimately need three points to keep their fading hopes of progression into the knockout stages alive, having tasted defeat in their opening two Group A outings.
But there is plenty going on in the background, as ever, with much to be resolved on and off the pitch amid a turbulent start to the campaign.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are closing in on a £1.4billion deal to buy 25 per cent of United from the Glazer family.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag faces the catastrophic risk of losing his right-hand man, Mitchell van der Gaag, to Louis van Gaal and Ajax.
The Dutchman is also welcoming back some key names to contention as he looks to build on back-to-back Premier League wins in Europe.
United are bound to already have one eye on Sunday’s blockbuster derby against Manchester City at Old Trafford, with Sir Bobby Charlton set to be remembered at both games this week.
