Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has three new undroppables for must-win Copenhagen clash

Erik ten Hag faces important lineup decisions ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League match against Copenhagen. After a 1-0 victory over Fulham, it’s crucial to field the right players to secure three points and avoid a Group A exit.

Three players, in particular, must retain their spots in the starting lineup alongside established starters like Andre Onana, Bruno Fernandes, and Rasmus Hojlund.

1. Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Aaron Wan-Bissaka made his first start since September and demonstrated what he brings to the team. He hardly allowed Fulham any opportunities down the right flank and actively contributed to United’s attacks. While Diogo Dalot did well at left-back, Wan-Bissaka deserves to continue as the first-choice right-back.
2. Harry Maguire: Harry Maguire’s surprising resurgence continued with a strong performance against Fulham. He has transformed from being the fifth-choice center-back to an indispensable presence in the defense. Maguire’s performance against Fulham, with nine clearances, six successful long balls, and a strong duel win record, makes a strong case for him to keep his place in the lineup.
3. Alejandro Garnacho: If Marcus Rashford returns to fitness, he should start on the left wing, but Alejandro Garnacho impressed in the last match with his dribbling and creativity. The 19-year-old winger should start, and it might be wise to experiment with him on the right flank, potentially replacing Antony in the lineup. This change could provide more support to Rasmus Hojlund, who has been lacking service recently.

These three players have demonstrated their value, and Erik ten Hag should consider including them in the starting lineup against Copenhagen.
