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:

But Manchester United hit back soon afterwards thanks to an own goal.

And they had a golden chance to level the aggregate score in the shadows of half time but Juan Mata saw his penalty kick saved:

But United did nudge in front on the night thanks to debutant Marcus Rashford, who came on as Martial's replacement.

Rashford's remarkable night only got better when he tapped home with a quarter of an hour to play.

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.
