A late goal from Harry Maguire pulled a narrow draw shared with the electrifying side Porto.
Another Thursday night has foreseen Manchester United struggling in an awful performance, kicking off their Europa League dream with a shadow of nightmare.
The beautiful game between the two Giants nailed an equal dominance. However, Manchester United were able to grab an early lead, converted by Rashford, followed by another similar goal fired in by Højlund, advancing them to a 2-0 lead.
Amid the lead, it didn’t take Porto much time to scrap one back after Pepé scored a rebound in the 27th minute of the game.
This was followed by an electrifying header, deployed by Omorodion, equalising the game to a 2-2 tally.
The game swerved to the grand of Porto who bounced back and took the lead after Omorodion’s brace.
The pressure resulted in another toll where Bruno Fernandez conceded a red card after clinching a second yellow card.
It varied to what seemed to be a defeat but Harry Maguire pulled one point back after scoring a late header to keep Manchester United hope alive.
On the UEFA Europa League table United sits at the 21st position with just 2 point in 2 matches.
Reflecting on the draw, Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag emphasized ‘Process’ as an excuse while urging the media not to judge him as they are on verge to clinch a fine record at the end of the season.
“Don’t judge us in this moment, wait until the end of the season. We’re in a process.” he told the press
