Ten Hag acknowledges the pressure to avoid three consecutive group defeats <\/p>\n

Busby reached five semi-finals in five attempts. Ten Hag is United\u2019s fifth manager since Ferguson \u2013 the sixth if the interim Ralf Rangnick is included \u2013 and none has reached a semi-final. There have only been two quarter-finals, one under David Moyes, one reached when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in caretaker charge. For now, such has been United\u2019s stumbling start to the season, a place in the last-16 would seem a success of sorts.<\/p>\n

Pointless after two defeats, United prop up Group A. Copenhagen\u2019s minnows are above them. If a doubleheader against Hojlund\u2019s first club offers an opportunity, there is also the potential for embarrassment. Certainly, the 3-2 loss to Galatasaray gives United little margin for error. \u201cWe have to win every game. If you lose the first two games, you have to win,\u201d said Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Perhaps his best chance of victory lies with the man whose brothers are on Copenhagen\u2019s books and, in one case, should be on the bench. It is a reunion for Hojlund, a family affair. \u201cWhen you have a little bit of empathetic ability then you know it is a special game for him,\u201d Ten Hag said. \u201cHe grew up there at this club and you know he will be highly motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus far, the signs that Rasmus Hojlund could justify his \u00a372m fee have been seen in Europe. He is yet to score in the Premier League but opened his account in the Allianz Arena. A tour de force against Galatasaray could have made him a match-winner but for United\u2019s self-destructive streak. Instead, he is the tournament\u2019s joint top scorer. \u201cAgainst Galatasaray it was definitely two brilliant goals as well as the one in Munich,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cHe is always in scoring positions in our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hojlund will be determined to beat FC Copenhagen, the club where he grew up <\/p>\n

Striker Hojlund is following in famous footsteps. A centre-forward has been granted the No 11 shirt that, for much of the first half of his United career, was Charlton\u2019s; he may yet gravitate to wear the No 9, which the scorer of 249 goals for the club subsequently wore.<\/p>\n

The most famous two of those goals came in the 1968 European Cup final. They were at Wembley, which will host this year\u2019s Champions League final. Yet if United have still greater motivation to reach it, first they have to display the competence to get out of the group. And for a club shrouded in history, a European campaign beginning with three consecutive defeats would be a historic low.<\/p>\n
