Juan Mata 8, Anthony Martial 7, Paul Pogba 7: Manchester United player ratings v Copenhagen

Red Devils through to Europa League semi-finals after extra-time win but are made to fight all the way by Danes

MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS V FC COPENHAGEN: Sergio Romero - 6: Twelfth clean sheet in his 17 games this season and always comfortable in a competition he starred in two years ago. Reuters

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 6: Gave ball away, but intelligent work with Greenwood on right. Blocked Oviedo from Copenhagen’s best chance. Limited threat in attack. Reuters

Harry Maguire - 6: Early header towards goal and key block against Daramy as United started slowly. Steady. PA

Eric Bailly - 6: Early header towards goal and key block against Daramy as United started slowly. Steady. AP

Brandon Williams - 6: Key header away from goal as United started terribly. Busier second half getting forward but still limited end product. Reuters

Fred - 6: Gave the ball away and one nearly led to goal. A few bad touches. Otherwise OK. AFP

Paul Pogba - 7: World class footballer but looked far from that. As leggy as his teammates in the heat. Still, played for 120 minutes and played some fine passes in second half. Getty

Bruno Fernandes - 7: Off pace again, but made several second half strikes from distance, one which hit post. Gave ball away too much and tired – as he has done in recent weeks, but scored his sixth United penalty (of 21 this season) four minutes into extra time. Reuters

Marcus Rashford - 6: Early header over, livened up towards end of first half with a shot but off pace. Scuffed a flighted ball and unable to break down the Danes. Getty

Mason Greenwood - 6: Super finish which looked like the opening goal, but VAR well used to rule offside. Hit inside of post in second half. Reuters

Anthony Martial - 7: Limited for so long against excellent defence which gave up little space, but came alive towards end. Curled an 83rd minute shot that had to be well saved by the sublime Johnsson in the Copenhagen goal. Weaved into box late on but blocked. Getty

SUBS: Nemanja Matic - (On for Fred 70') 6: Surprise he didn’t start but on for Fred to bring midfield control after 70. Calm. EPA

Victor Lindelof - (On for Bailly 71') 6: Hit post. AP

Juan Mata - (On for Greenwood 90') 8: On at start of extra time. Experience told as did what he was asked, supporting attack and finding pockets of space. Hit post. The right sub. Getty

Bruno Fernandes' extra-time penalty edged Manchester United through to the Europa League semi-finals as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side toiled to victory against gutsy FC Copenhagen.

An overturned penalty, two disallowed goals and efforts off the woodwork frustrated the Old Trafford giants during a goalless 90 minutes in which the Danish side looked dangerous despite failing to register a shot on target.

Fernandes would save the day from the spot in extra time, securing a 1-0 victory and a last-four date against Wolves or Sevilla back at Stadion Koln this Sunday.

Solskjaer will need a vastly-improved performance if they are to get any further than that, though, as their tired, sloppy play was compounded by Copenhagen playing with the intensity you would expect from a side in their first European quarter-final.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side improved after a poor opening 45 minutes and dominated the second half but could find no way past inspired goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson.

The match was on a knife-edge as play headed into extra time, which was just five minutes old when Fernandes scored from a spot-kick won by Anthony Martial.

United midfielder Juan Mata, who made a huge difference when he came on for extra-time, said: "The team is quite tired physically. At this stage of this season it is important to win games like today and we go through. We stay in Germany for quite some time and hopefully we can win."
