Manchester United held to draw by Twente in Europa League opener

STUMBLE

Manchester United struggled at home and were held to a 1-1 draw by Twente in the first round of the Europa League. Erik ten Hag’s side took the lead through Christian Eriksen, but the visitors equalised in the second half through Lammers. Despite United creating few chances, the Twente goalkeeper made at least two saves in the match.

EYE ON THE TABLE

With this result, Manchester United and Twente each have one point in the Europa League standings. The tournament has undergone the same format change as the Champions League and now has a single table, instead of a group stage. In the next round, the English team visits Porto, while the Dutch host Fenerbahçe.
