In the Europa League phase, Erik Ten Hag’s side began their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Twente at Old Trafford and then followed up the match with a dramatic 3-3 draw against Porto on the road thanks to a late header from Harry Maguire, who rescued a much-needed point for the team in a game they led 2-0.
