Jose Mourinho is sent off as his Fenerbahce side come from behind to condemn his old club Manchester United to a third successive Europa League draw.
Jose Mourinho was sent off as his Fenerbahce side came from behind to condemn his old club Manchester United to a third successive Europa League draw in Istanbul.But the hosts levelled four minutes after the restart when Youssef En-Nesyri got between United defenders to head home Allan Saint-Maximin’s cross from close range.
United had their chances to win the game but substitute Rasmus Hojlund opted to go alone rather than play a pass to the better placed Alejandro Garnacho and his shot rolled harmlessly through to home goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. Then Garnacho lost control of the ball as he ran into the area and that chance went begging too.
Yet it has felt this was a game when he wanted to prove something to an English audience that knows him so well and there had been flashes of fury in the opening period.In the first half, he looked genuinely annoyed at En-Nesyri not taking the first opportunity when Andre Onana shoved the ball into his path right in front of an unprotected goal. But Ugarte was there in a flash and as soon as En-Nesyri made contact, the Uruguayan made the block.
Yet, they also have their hardest two of eight first-phase games out of the way and improvement should come quickly, starting with the visit of Greek side PAOK to Old Trafford in a fortnight. With the pressure on Ten Hag still huge, the £36.5m summer signing from Bologna man is not doing much to help ease it.After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.All times UK.
