Manchester United is still searching for its first Europa League victory this season. After two draws against Twente and FC Porto, the Red Devils once again settled for a draw tonight at the Ülker Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium during matchday three.
The tightly contested game saw both teams deliver high-quality performances. Without André Onana’s outstanding goalkeeping, Manchester United would likely have faced a loss, as the keeper made several crucial saves in the first half.
From the opening whistle, Manchester United showed their determination to put pressure on the Turkish side. True to his style, José Mourinho opted for a defensive approach, relying on counter-attacks. However, the Portuguese coach was quickly caught off guard. In the 14th minute, Christian Eriksen opened the scoring for the Red Devils (0-1), reigniting the intensity of the match.
Fenerbahçe’s supporters immediately responded, ramping up the atmosphere in the stands. Faced with this new momentum, Mourinho adjusted his midfield setup to regain balance in his team.
