Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said his side are due a turnaround in fortunes, after collapsing to a 4-3 defeat at FC Copenhagen on Wednesday that left the Red Devils a step closer to exiting the Champions League.
United led 2-0 inside half an hour in the Danish capital after Rasmus Hojlund struck twice against his former club.
But a red card for Marcus Rashford after a VAR (video assistant referee) review on 42 minutes changed the course of the game.
Copenhagen made the most of 13 added minutes at the end of the first half to level through Mohamed Elyounoussi and a Diogo Goncalves penalty.
Bruno Fernandes restored United's lead from the penalty spot but the Danish champions struck twice in the final 10 minutes through Lukas Lerager and Roony Bardghji - to secure their first Champions League win since 2016.
A third defeat in four games leaves United bottom of Group A, but ten Hag was unhappy at the award of both Copenhagen's first two goals and Rashford's dismissal.
The Dutchman believed Elyounoussi's strike should have been ruled out for offside and that the decision to penalise Harry Maguire for handball inside the area was harsh.
