FCM stun Manchester United in Europa League

Wolves show determination to come from behind in Herning

FC Midtjylland pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Danish football history by beating Manchester United 2-1 at home in Herning in the Europa League last night.

United went ahead via Memphis Depay after 37 minutes before Pione Sisto equalised just before halftime with a superb solo effort. Paul Onuachu then got the winner on 77 minutes with a low drive from outside the box.

Need to score
FCM coach Jess Thorup praised his side after the surprise victory, but maintained that nothing had been won yet.

“We got a good result and can look ahead to the replay next week,” Thorup told Bold.dk

“It will be a different game and a tougher game at Old Trafford. We know that. We’ll probably need to score at least once to have a chance.”

The replay will take place at 21:05 on Thursday February 25.
