on his return to the starting line-up &#8211; was shown a red card that changed the face of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The hosts quickly got one back through Mohamed Elyounoussi, before Pedro Goncalves converted from the spot to set up a fascinating second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although Bruno Fernandes restored the lead emphatically with a penalty of his own, Copenhagen struck late in the 83rd minute with Lukas Lerager to draw level, before Roony Bardghji won it in the 87th in dramatic fashion.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/00\/77583271-12727689-image-a-21_1699490673675.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rasmus Hojlund broke two Manchester United records in the Champions League on Wednesday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/00\/77583269-12727689-image-a-22_1699490678537.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>His goals put United 2-0 up on the night inside half an hour but he was powerless to prevent defeat<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/00\/77583325-12727689-image-a-24_1699490695859.jpg\" height=\"486\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Roony Bardghji&#8217;s 87th-minute strike sealed a memorable comeback for Copenhagen at Parken<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>His goals may ultimately have counted for little in the Danish capital, but Hojlund still broke not one but two records on the night at his new club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not only did he become the youngest Man United player to score a brace on the road in the Champions League at 20 and 277 days, but he also became the first Red Devils star to net five in his first four outings in the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The previous record was held by Bulgarian icon Dimitar Berbatov, who managed four in his first four games in the Champions League at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund&#8217;s prodigious tally in the Champions League has so far kept many of the doubters at arms length, given his struggles to net in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the English top-flight, the \u00a372million summer arrival has now gone eight games without registering a single goal or assist for the Red Devils, but he is proving to Erik ten Hag that he can get on the scoresheet in Europe at least.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It will be scant consolation for the Dutchman, who has now lost three of the last four, and nine all competitions so far this term &#8211; including five at Old Trafford.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the game, Hojlund gave an honest assessment of his side&#8217;s performance, in which he issued a rallying call for his team-mates to &#8216;do better&#8217;
