There was a time when a visit from Manchester United was one of the most fearsome prospects in European football.

No more. For the first time in their history, the Red Devils have lost five consecutive matches in continental competition.

Jose Mourinho's team were defeated 2-1 by Turkish side Fenerbahce in Istanbul on Thursday night, leaving their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League knockout stages in the balance.
