Match report: United 1 FC Twente 1

Christian Eriksen's first European goal for the club gave the Reds the lead 10 minutes before the break with a sublime strike, which was cancelled out by Sam Lammers for the Dutch visitors midway through the second period.

The Reds will feel that it is a missed opportunity, after the boss had stressed the importance of a strong start in the first of eight Europa League games, in our first competitive meeting with his own boyhood club, which he represented as captain, youth coach and assistant manager earlier in his career.

Erik made three changes to the line-up from Saturday’s goalless draw at Crystal Palace as Marcus Rashford, Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire were recalled in place of Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Matthijs de Ligt, who were among a strong substitutes’ bench.
