Man Utd face Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce in Europa League clash – follow live

NOW THAT’S A STUNNING GOAL!

13 mins: It’s Fenerbahce’s game now. Mourinho’s side are playing through United’s press with ease. Szymanski drives forward from midfield and is tugged back by Rashford, who is booked.

9 mins: There’s a horribly loose pass from Amrabat in midfield but Fenerbahce get back and cut out Rashford’s cross.

Saint-Maximin is forced out by Martinez, who defended well there in his box.

6 mins: Chance! Great work by Fred, against his former side, as he eases away from Eriksen. He finds the overlapping Samuel on the outside but the full-back can’t produce a dangerous cross.

Saint-Maximin keeps up the pressure as Dalot pokes away for a Fenerbahce corner.

4 mins: Mourinho has clearly relished this week but he’s under pressure too tonight after a mixed start to the season.

United have controlled the early stages.

2 mins: Mazraoui is indeed in an advanced midfield position, ahead of Ugarte and Eriksen and being Zirkzee. Mourinho callled for the home fans to be loud and they have answered his call. It’s incredible.

It’s been over a year since Manchester United last won in Europe. It could be their worst run in 41 years if they don’t win tonight!

We’re underway in Istanbul. There are loud whistles for the United huddle. Martinez is captain with Fernandes suspended.

Manchester United are without a win in this season’s Europa League after draws against FC Twente and Porto.

Can Erik ten Hag’s side get three points tonight? Or will Jose Mourinho find a way to pile the pressure on his former club?

Kick-off is next. It’s going to be loud!

Jose Mourinho also declared that Manchester United and Tottenham, two of his former clubs, are clear favourites to win the Europa League this season.

“The results Man Utd is having, then the potential of the team, that is high, the two draws in the Europa League do not favour us, but doesn’t make a huge difference.

At the end of the day, this new format, the top teams will always qualify, no problem for top teams to lose three or four matches out of eight, but then they will win three or four and qualify easily.

“They’re in a stable situation. Which are the two biggest candidates to win it? It’s easy, Man Utd and Tottenham. It’s a different level of quality, pace, tactical culture, a different level of everything.”

Jose Mourinho, speaking to TNT Sports.

“I feel good. Of course I would love an easier draw, especially this one against a very good Premier League team that is a different level.

“There were so many Champions League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday that were not as good as this one can be. Let’s try to win it.

“They were good [against Brentford]. As I say, when I analyse the team I can see the work that he [Ten Hag] is doing. Tactically they know what they want to do.

“They have certain dynamics that can be difficult to identify, we have to focus on the movements and not the players. We have tried to prepare them for this.

“We need support [from the crowd]. The Turkish culture can go in both directions. Hopefully they understand it is a difficult match for us and United will have the ball.

“We are missing a lot of players, players in different positions. When I see people moaning about the Manchester United players not there, I think, they should not be moaning.

“But I was also moaning when I was there!”
