Jose Mourinho received a red card but his Fenerbahce team still held his former club Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League on Thursday. Erik ten Hag's squad led early from Christian Eriksen's 15th-minute goal only to see Youssef En-Nesyri equalize in the 49th, heading home unmarked from close range on a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin. It was United's third straight draw in the second-tier competition. Mourinho received a red card after his team was not awarded a spot kick around the hour mark. My boys played an amazing match, Mourinho told TNT Sports. We played against a team that is at a superior level to us. We finished the game with a center-back playing at right-back and a right-back at left-back. We had to do a crazy puzzle but our performance was extraordinary and I couldn't ask for anything more from the players. Mourinho led United to the Europa League title in 2017 during his 2 years at Old Trafford. He took the Fenerbahce job in this past offseason. Elsew

The Portuguese star led United to the Europa League title in 2017 during his two-year stint with the club. Fenerbahce has four points from the opening two games in the competition while United was held to two draws. United may be down in 12th place in the Premier League but Mourinho said it is a better team than results are showing. I don't see any reason for Manchester United to be afraid of Fenerbahce but I think they know it's not an easy game for them, he said. If they come thinking it'll be easy, it is the wrong approach and I don't think that will be the approach. They know the game can be difficult for them. Mourinho was signed by Fenerbahce in June in
