**Manchester, England** – Manchester United’s Europa League campaign began with a disappointing 1-1 draw against FC Twente at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Christian Eriksen put the Red Devils ahead in the first half with a powerful shot, but Dutch striker Sam Lammers equalized for Twente in the 68th minute.
The first half was a lively affair, with Lammers testing United’s defense early on. Eriksen’s goal gave United a deserved lead, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances after the break.
Twente, on the other hand, defended resolutely and capitalized on a lapse in United’s concentration to grab a point.
Elsewhere in the Europa League, Lazio cruised to a 3-0 victory against Dynamo Kyiv thanks to a brace from Boulaye Dia and a goal from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
Nice and Real Sociedad played out a 1-1 draw, while Galatasaray secured a 3-1 win over PAOK.
In an earlier match, Bodo/Glimt recorded a 3-2 home victory over FC Porto, despite playing with 10 men for the majority of the second half.
