Manchester United vs. Midtjylland: Goals, Highlights from the Europa League
FC Midtjylland visited Old Trafford on Thursday in search of another telling upset over Manchester United.
The Danish side upset Louis van Gaal's men 2-1 in the first leg a week earlier and could inflict further pain on their opponents by advancing to the last 16 in their place.
It was a horror start for the home side, who saw Anthony Martial injured in the warm-up before Pione Sisto put Midtjylland in front:

United were through when Ander Herrera scored from the penalty spot:
And Memphis Depay capped a fine performance with a late goal to make it 5-1.
That was how it finished, Louis van Gaal surviving another scare to make it through to the last 16 with a 6-3 aggregate victory.
