Fenerbahce 1-1 Manchester United: Player Ratings as the Red Devils draw third-straight Europa League match

Fenerbahce hosted Erik Ten Hag led Manchester United at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League as they two teams played out a 1-1 draw.

Manchester United made a lovely start to the contest and grabbed a 1-0 lead just 15 minutes into the game. Joshua Zirkzee assisted Christian Eriksen to finish off a lovely team move by the Red Devils. However, Fenerbahce roared back into the game and dominated possession but could not level the game before the break.

Their equalizer came just four minutes after the restart, though, as Allan Saint-Maximin’s perfect cross found Youssef En-Nesyri, who nodded home to make it 1-1 in the 49^th minute. Both managers made multiple changes from that point on but were unable to alter the scoreline as the game ended 1-1. On that note, let’s take a look at the player ratings for both teams.
