Manchester United travelled to Istanbul as they looked to get their first Europa League win of the season against Fenerbahce. While they started the match off well with Christian Eriksen giving the visitors an early lead, Jose Mourinho’s men rallied back to score in the second half and held the Red Devils to a 1-1 draw.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United have now drawn their first three Europa League league stage games of the season as they started off with a 1-1 draw at home to Twente and a 3-3 draw against Porto at the Estadio do Dragao. Ten Hag’s men now sit 21st in the Europa League standings and are without a win in over a year of European football, but the Dutchman thinks the results so far are ‘not bad’.
AFPWHAT TEN HAG SAID
Speaking to the media, Ten Hag said: “Point in Porto, point in Fenerbahce, that’s not bad, but of course we want to win. We want to win every game. From two tough away games, Porto and Fenerbahce, we take two points, this is a result.”
WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
Ten Hag’s job remains under threat, and the Dutchman will hope to see his side win their next clash away at West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday, October 27.
