Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund put Manchester United two goals up against FC Porto - but their Europa League opponents then hit back to dampen the mood.
Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand couldn't hide his disappointment after a crazy first half for Erik ten Hag's side against FC Porto in the Europa League .
However, with confidence flowing through the United team again, they were pegged back. Despite a good close range save by Andre Onana, Pepe caught Lisandro Martinez cold on the follow-up to halve that deficit, but it was not the end of the first-half drama.Just 34 minutes in and the hosts were level. This time a cross from the right was met by Samu Omorodion who beat Matthijs de Ligt comfortably to power the header in.
The clash in Portugal is a pivotal one for Ten Hag as he battles to save his job at Old Trafford. Last weekend's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur led to heavy speculation surrounding his future, but The Manchester Evening News understands will be managed by the Dutchman for the time-being regardless of the result at Porto.
