Need to score
FCM coach Jess Thorup praised his side after the surprise victory, but maintained that nothing had been won yet.

“We got a good result and can look ahead to the replay next week,” Thorup told Bold.dk

“It will be a different game and a tougher game at Old Trafford. We know that. We’ll probably need to score at least once to have a chance.”

The replay will take place at 21:05 on Thursday February 25.
