FC Copenhagen, champions of Denmark, visit Old Trafford on Tuesday and Ten Hag has said his team must win.
“If you lose the first two games, you have to win,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Monday.
Ten Hag is expecting an emotional atmosphere at Old Trafford in United’s first home game since the announcement of Sir Bobby Charlton’s death, aged 86, on Saturday.
“It is always special, every night at Old Trafford, the fans are always so behind us,” Ten Hag added. “Remember the last home game against Brentford, even when the game is not going in our direction, they stayed behind us in difficult moments.
