This Wednesday Manchester United suffered a tough defeat against Copenhagen 4-3 that seriously complicated their chances to qualify to the last 16 of the Champions League. They are now at the bottom of the Group A standings with 3 points, while their rivals and Galatasaray have 4.

 

However, things had started very well for the Red Devils, who led 2-0 in the first half with two goals from Rasmus Hojlund. But everything changed after 41 minutes, when the VAR intervened to tell Donatas Rumsas to review a kick by Marcus Rashford against Elias Jelert Kristensen. The referee considered that the correct thing to do was to send him off and showed him the red card.

This changed the match, as in the following minutes the hosts scored two goals and went to the break tied 2-2. In the second half Manchester United had no choice but to defend, but Copenhagen took advantage of the extra man they had and managed to win 4-3.

But that was not the worst news Marcus received in recent days. According to The Telegraph, his brother and agent Dan Rashford is in serious trouble with the law. On October 20, while on vacation in Miami, he was arrested for a domestic violence case. At the time he had to post $1,500 bail to be released and now awaits trial.

Dan also received a restraining order to stay away from the alleged victim, at least until the trial takes place. This will happen on November 27. In the meantime, he is free pending his arraignment on another $1,500 bail. This is undoubtedly a concern for Marcus Rashford, who is not only struggling at Manchester United after a dismal start to the season, but may also have to find a new agent.
