Manchester United suffered yet another defeat - and ironically the winner was scored by a man named Roony.

The Red Devils appeared to be cruising against Danish giants Copenhagen after a Rasmus Hojlund brace put them 2-0. A red card to Marcus Rashford, however, dramatically changed everything. The Red Devils were pegged back to 2-2 but a Bruno Fernandes penalty restored their hope of getting something out of the game.

Symbolic of Man Utd's season so far, that hope was quickly crushed as Copenhagen again came back, first equalising before 17-year-old wonderkid Roony Bardghji scored a dramatic late winner, condemning Man Utd to their ninth defeat of the season. Nicknamed the Swedish Messi, Roony - who, as far as we can tell, is not named after Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney - is once again being linked with Chelsea, precisely because of goals like the one he scored against the Red Devils.
