Manchester United stuttered to a 1-1 draw at home to FC Twente in their opening Europa League game on Wednesday as Christian Eriksen scored but then made an error that led to the equaliser.

The Denmark international put United ahead with a powerful first-half strike on a soaking wet night at Old Trafford before Sam Lammers equalised for Twente on 68 minutes after Eriksen was caught in possession. "We wanted more in the end, far from good enough.

They looked like they wanted it more - that can't be right," Eriksen told TNT Sports. "I think everyone is looking at themselves, everyone is a professional footballer, they know what to do, what can't happen.

We don't lose but it feels like a loss." United manager Erik ten Hag selected a strong side to take on Twente, a club where the Dutchman came through the youth ranks and had three spells as a player before moving into coaching with the Eredivisie side.
