Fenerbahce vs Manchester United LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Jose Mourinho sent off
Fenerbahce 1-1 Manchester United: Mourinho was predictably at the centre of attention but Erik ten Hag’s side remain without a win in the Europa League this season
Jose Mourinho was sent off as Fenerbahce held his former club Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League, leaving Erik ten Hag’s side without a win in three European games this season.
Mourinho was dismissed by referee Clement Turpin after appealing for a penalty midway through the second half. The 61-year-old watched the remainder of the match from the stands.
It came just after Youssef En-Nesyri equalised for Fenerbahce, beating Andre Onana with a downward header after the Manchester United goalkeeper had denied him with a brilliant double save before half time.
United’s defending was poor and had been coming with Ten Hag’s side retreating after Christian Eriksen’s opening goal on 15 minutes, as the midfielder finished off a clinical counter-attack.
United remain without a win in the Europa League after previous draws against FC Twente and Porto. It is now a year since their last European win: a 1-0 victory against Copenhagen at Old Trafford.
FULL TIME! Fenerbahce 1-1 Manchester United
On TNT Sports, former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes says Erik ten Hag’s side are in a “terrible position” in the Europa League.
“The two results you have to say: Porto away, tough place to go, good draw. Fenerbahce away, good draw. It’s the home game that was really disappointing, the Twente game, you should be beating those teams,” he says.
United have also let a lead slip in all three of their Europa League games this season.

Smiles before kick-off. Not sure Mourinho will be so happy now. We’ll hopefully hear from both managers soon.

Strangely, very little happened in the game after Mourinho’s red card. The final half hour was poor after an entertaining contest until that point.
Is it a decent draw for United? Fenerbahce is always a tough place to go. But given the pressure already on Ten Hag, he probably needed more.

Well that sums it up! United had a free kick just inside the Fenerbahce half. Instead of aiming for the box, they take it back to Andre Onana and the referee blows for full time.
A good result for Jose Mourinho’s side. A poor one for Erik ten Hag, with United still without a win in the Europa League.
They’ve now gone six games in a row without a win in Europe for the first time since 1981.

90+4 mins: Fenerbahce have the ball down in the corner, but throw it straight out of play. One last chance for United?

90+3 mins: Eriksen’s cross is headed away and Mazraoui blazes well over from the edge.
Not long to go.

90+2 mins: Terrible challenge from Muldur on Amad, flying in and getting nowhere near the ball. That’s a clear yellow card and gives United a free kick in a good position on the corner of the box.

90 mins: Antony is carried off. There will be five added minutes to play.

87 mins: Antony tries to carry on, realise he can’t, signals to come off, and throws himself onto his back.
Amad Diallo will be on shortly. Antony looks like he requires a stretcher.
