Manchester United's Europa League campaign began with a frustrating 1-1 draw against FC Twente at Old Trafford. Christian Eriksen initially put United ahead with a stunning goal in the 35th minute, but a costly mistake led to Sam Lammers equalizing in the 68th minute. Despite dominating the early stages and having several chances, United struggled to convert their opportunities into a win, continuing a disappointing trend with just one victory in nine European matches. Erik ten Hag, who has a long history with Twente, expressed disappointment at not capitalizing on their lead. The draw reflects United's mixed start to the season, showcasing both promise and inconsistency. Twente's resilience earned them a valuable point in the revamped Europa League format.
