Europa League Week 1: Favourites United Falter at Feyenoord

Europa League favourites Manchester United lose their opening game away at Feyenoord; Roma draw in the Czech Republic, and Villareal comes from behind to win at home against FC Zurich.

“It’s not a competition I want. It’s not a competition the club wants. It’s not a competition the players want.” Said Jose Mourinho ahead of their opening Europa League game against Feyenoord.

Unsurprisingly, the bookmakers favourite lost.

“I am not going to criticise my players,” said Mourinho after the loss.
