Manchester United are seen as one of the favourites to win this season’s Europa League, but they had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their opening match against Twente in a mixed evening for Christian Eriksen.

Twente gave United an early scare when Sam Lammers fired a shot just wide after a mistake from Diogo Dalot, but the home side quickly took control, with the strong performer Marcus Rashford causing plenty of problems down the left.

The Red Devils finally took the lead 10 minutes before half-time when Eriksen fired home his third goal in as many games after the ball fell to him on the edge of the penalty area. They seemed to be doing well until halfway through the second half.

At this point Twente started to cause more problems and it was Eriksen who gave the ball away in their own half, allowing Lammers to run in and shoot past Andre Onana. United did go for a winner in the final 20 minutes, with Joshua Zirkzee, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho all going close, but they could not find a winner against a team that represented Erik ten Hag as a player.
