Marcus Rashford will miss Manchester United's Champions League game at Galatasaray next week after UEFA confirmed a one-match ban. (More Football News)
Rashford was sent off for “rough play” following a challenge on Elias Jelert in United's 4-3 loss against Copenhagen earlier this month. United manager Erik ten Hag des🍬cribed it as “harsh,” but UEFA confirmed the decision by referee Donatas Rumsas after a VAR review had been upheld.
“I think when you freeze it, it always looks worse. I'm very disappointed about such d🔯ecisions. I think the game is never meant to be like this,” Ten Hag said at the time. “It has nothing to do with football.”
D🧸efeat to Copenhagen put United's hopes of advancing to the Champions League knockout stage in the balance.
United is currently bottom of Group A with three points. A loss to Galatasaray🤪 on Wednesday would end t☂he three-time European champion's hopes in the competition.
