FC Copenhagen\u00a0boss Jacob Neestrup has warned Manchester United that the atmosphere at Parken Stadium will be ‘100 times’ better than Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The two clubs meet again in a Champions League Group A tie in Denmark on Wednesday night two weeks after United snatched a 1-0 victory with Andre Onana’s injury-time penalty save from Jordan Larsson.<\/p>\n
And Neestrup has told United to expect a white-hot reception in the Danish capital as his side go in search of revenge. ‘What can they expect?’ he said. ‘I would say with all the respect I felt when I stepped into Old Trafford, then I felt the historical atmosphere.<\/p>\n
‘But you can’t compare Old Trafford with Parken because the intensity is times 100 in terms of what we played in two weeks ago. Then this is a standard that, for me, is way above Premier League to be honest.’<\/p>\n
Copenhagen only have one point in the group but Neestrup thought his side deserved more from the game at Old Trafford, and they also led Bayern Munich at home before losing 2-1 to a late goal.<\/p>\n

‘For me, it’s not about hope. For me, it’s about strong belief that we can get a result,’ he added. ‘The penalty miss in the fifth minute of extra-time was what was it was, but it was a totally equal game.<\/p>\n
‘I was a little bit surprised about some of the questions I got after the game from English journalists in terms of that we were quite tough to break down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The talk we had at half-time in our dressing-room was that we thought it was tough to break the opponent down. In that picture I think the game over 95 minutes was totally equal and I expect the same on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
‘I also thought it was a perfect time to play Bayern Munich. We play at home, we are a big, big club in Copenhagen, so for me it really doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n
‘We need a result. Best case three points, next best it’s one.<\/p>\n
‘Four weeks ago we played Bayern Munich in Parken who came with a lot of confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I think the game before us they won with five, six or seven goals but we were ourselves and that is our biggest chance to achieve something on Wednesday. It doesn’t matter the shape that United, Bayern Munich or Galatasaray will arrive in.’<\/p>\n
