Manchester United left Porto’s Estádio do Dragão with a point after squandering a two-goal lead, leading Erik ten Hag to criticise his team’s defending. Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Højlund gave Manchester United an early lead before Harry Maguire equalised in stoppage time after the hosts fought back to lead 3-2.
“The players executed the plan brilliantly,” Ten Hag said. “Then we switched off … you concede the first goal, you light up the fire in this stadium.
“I have to watch it back. I think over the left side, definitely, we didn’t defend well tonight. And Marcus [Rashford] also played a part in this … but as I say it had to do with Garnacho. Nothing against ‘Rashy’.”
