Harry Maguire rescues point for 10-man Manchester United

Harry Maguire rescued a Europa League point for Man Utd at FC Porto in a dramatic 3-3 draw, but the pressure remains on Erik ten Hag after another dysfunctional performance.

Four days after their 3-0 home humiliation at the hands of Tottenham, the Red Devils put criticism of the players and their under-fire manager to the side with an impressive start in Portugal.

Goals from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund had United in control, only for Ten Hag’s men to lose their way and their defensive faculties as Pepe scored before Samu Omorodion’s brilliant brace.

Captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the second straight match as Ten Hag squirmed, only for Maguire to head home a Christian Eriksen corner in stoppage time to seal a point.

The Dutchman will be grateful to the towering centre-back after coming to the rescue in what always looked to be the toughest assignment in the new-look Europa League.

But the manner of the performance in Porto does little to help Ten Hag ahead of Sunday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa and the October international break.

Is is time up for the Manchester United gaffer?
