Man United's next five fixtures compared to top-four rivals Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa
Manchester United have a mixed bag of fixtures to come after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League.
The Reds got off to a perfect start in Portugal as Marcus Rashford cut inside from the left-hand side to fire a strike which beat Diogo Costa at his near post. A bad night for the Portuguese goalkeeper became worse as Rasmus Hojlund managed to squeeze a shot underneath him on 20 minutes.
Erik ten Hag's men were pegged back when their confidence was flowing though as Pepe followed up from Andre Onana's good save to make it 2-1. And it was all level again less than ten minutes later as Samu Omorodion beat Matthijs de Ligt from a cross which found the roof of the net.

Incredibly the collapse was completed five minutes into the second half as Omorodion bagged his brace as the defensive line was caught napping. Bruno Fernandes was then sent off with less than ten minutes remaining which looked to have sealed defeat but up stepped Harry Maguire in stoppage time to power a header in and secure a point.
