Manchester United played out a 3-3 draw against FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Red Devils came into the game with manager Erik ten Hag under pressure, following a 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League.
But they raced into a two-goal lead after Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund’s goals
However, the game was leveled before half time, with Aqunio Cossa and Samu Omorodion scoring for the hosts.
Omorodion put Porto ahead, before United’s Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second consecutive game.
Fernandes was shown a second yellow card for a high foot, before Harry Maguire headed in a late equalizer.
Speaking after the game, Erik Ten Hag urged Manchester United fans not to judge the team by the Porto result in the Europa League.
“So we had three clean sheets not so long ago, so we can defend well, but we have to go back to those habits and then we can win games.”
“We will get there, don’t judge us in this moment, judge us at the end of the season,” he added.
“We are in a process and we will improve. We had two seasons in finals, just wait, we will develop this team.
“We will continue to work, we will fight, you see the spirit and the connection with the staff and the team.”
He promised to turn things around in the coming days
United, who are 13th on the Premier League table, will be away at Villa Park on Sunday.
