For a team that has found so much glory in the historic Champions League, United currently have a record of 1 win and 3 losses. I cannot exclaim how poor this is. We have 1 win and 3 losses. It’s ridiculous and it shouldn’t be the case at all. I have watched every single Champions League fixture that United have played so far and it is truly upsetting to watch. The last match United played in the UCL really questioned my love for the club. The game ended 4-3 to Copenhagen. United had a 2-goal lead led by Rasmus Højlund and everything was looking great. The goals were scored beautifully, and things were actually starting to look up. Unfortunately for United, that’s when things go down, every time.  It all started with an extremely controversial red card for Marcus Rashford which I believe to be poor decision as the same tackle was committed by Liverpool on the weekend and they only received a yellow card. It sounds crazy, but there is an obvious distain for United by referees which is beginning to be pretty ridiculous as it feels like it’s one rule for United and a different set of rules for everybody else. For matters that decide vital offences on the football pitch, it’s not right how the use of VAR is constantly hypocritical with no form of consistency to be seen. The strange thing is Rashford was shown a yellow card at first but then was upgraded to a red. In addition, a 2-goal lead then came to 2-2 in 5 minutes. Barring that, United played the whole of the second half with 10 men which felt like less as the game went on. United defence collapsed in the final 10 minutes as balls were put into the box easily for Copenhagen players to get onto it. Another embarrassing performance from United on the European stage but hope will always remain. It must be better.
