Manchester United slipped to a 2-1 Europa League
last-32 defeat to FC Midtjylland on a miserable night
for Louis van Gaal who also lost goalkeeper David de
Gea to injury.
Paul Onuachu’s 77th minute goal shocked Manchester
United to give FC Midtjylland a deserved first-leg lead
in the Europa League round of 32.
Memphis Depay
opened the scoring in the first half before Pione Sisto
hit back only six minutes later to leave the scores
level at half time. But thirteen minutes from time FC
Midtjylland deservedly took the lead as substitute
Paul Onuachu downed Louis van Gaal’s side. That
means the Danish side take a slender lead to Old
Trafford ahead of the second leg next week.
Manchester United suffered a massive blow during the
warm up when goalkeeper David De Gea turned his
ankle while making a save, meaning Sergio Romero
took his place between the sticks.
The Premier League side, who were perhaps fortunate
not to see young Donald Love sent off, seemed
content to sit back in the closing stages and were
punished when Onuachu drilled low past Romero from
the edge of the box.
United fans had baulked at £71 tickets before the
game, but their ire will likely switch back to Van
Gaal's inability to get the best out his team after
another sorry show.
