Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United started their Europa League campaign with a defeat as Feyenoord secured a late victory courtesy of Tonny Vilhena's 79th minute strike.
After losing their Champions League opener at PSV Eindhoven one year to the day, United endured another night to forget in Holland.
Despite making eight changes to the side that ran out against City in the Manchester derby, Jose Mourinho's side still boasted plenty of quality.
But on the occasion his side looked cumbersome and unwieldy in Rotterdam as they struggled to break down the home side for much of the match.
It was hardly the response Mourinho craved after Saturday's derby defeat at Old Trafford, with few of the eight changes impressing at the De Kuip.
Anthony Martial's fizzing strike wide in the opening 30 minutes was the best United could muster from both halves.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Memphis Depay and Ashley Young were thrown on as Mourinho attempted to jump start his side, but their introduction could not prevent United's winless run extending to a sixth European trip.
So how did the Manchester United team fare? See the gallery above for our player ratings.
