United loses 2-1 at FC Midtjylland in Europa League

Then comes the last-32 second leg against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday before a Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday.

The visitors took the lead against Midtjylland in the 37th minute with a scrappy goal from Memphis Depay.

But Pione Sisto - capitalising on a Michael Carrick error - equalised seven minutes later, and a fine strike from substitute Paul Onuachu with 13 minutes to go handed Midtjylland a deserved victory set to be celebrated long into the Danish night.

A glum Louis van Gaal told reporters that De Gea will have a scan on his injured knee today, but of more pressing concern for the manager is how to regroup his side ahead of Monday's tricky FA Cup clash away at Shrewsbury.

EU warns Austria that plan to cap asylum seekers is unlawful
That is an allusion to Germany which, along with Sweden, has been the preferred destination for most migrants. The "joint action plan with Turkey remains a priority and we must do all we can to succeed", he said.

Some players may have joined the Van Gaal revolution under the impression United's struggles were temporary and that things would improve under the Dutchman.

The goal was only allowed after a lengthy discussion between referee and linesman, much to the Greeks' displeasure who had complained of a foul on goalkeeper Roberto. "I have to say that in the second half Midtjylland were winning every second ball", he said. You cannot afford a second goal, but we could have scored also - Jesse Lingard had two remarkable chances. I'm very grateful for the fans who supported us, but we wanted to win and we have to win at Old Trafford and then we are in the next round.

"I have been in the 1970s when we got relegated, but even though we got relegated you felt the players were giving 100 percent". The first 10 or 15 minutes were not so good but after that we came into the match, scored and could have scored more.

Having crashed out of the Champions League in December, United were heavy favourites to see off a Midtjylland team playing their first competitive game in more than two months. It is the law of Murphy, I think.

Shearer praised the Argentine worldwide for his performance, but suggested that the fact he was United's best player was a worrying sign. The performance and the result are not good enough and it has got to get a lot better. "We had a lot of problems with him, we had less with Pusic". "It just looks as if the players are not enjoying their football". "With a performance and a result like that we're going home very disappointed".

"We haven't won anything yet, but we have given ourselves a good chance".

Dortmund beat FC Porto 2-0 through goals by right back Lukasz Piszczek and Germany forward Marco Reus, and Denis Suarez scored with a free kick off the underside of the crossbar to give Villarreal a 1-0 win at home to Napoli.
