Manchester United were in position to win their Europa League opener until a lapse in concentration from Christian Eriksen led to a 1-1 draw with Twente
FC Twente's Sam Lammers scored the equaliser at Old Trafford to frustrate Manchester United’s hopes of an opening Europa League win.FC Twente's Sam Lammers scored the equaliser at Old Trafford to frustrate Manchester United’s hopes of an opening Europa League win.click as they did here for large periods, their attack features organised chaos and their defence is compact, as their four clean sheets this season show.
The latter occurred after an impressive first half. United continued the good on-ball work of the goalless draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday, that featured a possession-heavy style which, according to Ten Hag’s naysayers, is beyond his ken to shape. Lining up as United’s central striker, again, Zirkzee’s natural game is more akin to the deft work of a playmaker, as a no-look backheel that flummoxed Twente’s rearguard and put Rashford in behind illustrated. The latter’s cross was scuffed but another bright United attack ensued.
Could Ten Hag’s men maintain this display? The answer would be no, despite a bright second-half start that had some Rashford footwork bewildering two Twente defenders and taking him knifing towards goal before Joseph Oosting’s side recovered.
