Anthony Martial on target again as Manchester United come from behind to draw with Club Brugge

Anthony Martial's strike was enough to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester United away at Club Brugge in the Europa League last-32 round first leg.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded a strong line-up although January arrivals Odion Ighalo and Bruno Fernandes were only named among the substitutes.

The Norwegian opted to keep the 3-4-3 shape that worked a treat against Chelsea on Monday but it was the hosts who looked more energetic and hungry for the opener.

Emannuel Dennis, who scored twice against Real Madrid in the Champions League earlier this season, was causing problems for Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at the back.

The Belgian side started brightly and were rewarded with the opener after a horrendous piece of defending from United.

Simon Mignolet sent a long goal-kick high up the field and with Maguire and Lindelof still retreating, Dennis raced past Brandon Williams and with Sergio Romero way off his line, produced a fine lob to put the Belgian side in front.

United quickly found themselves on the backfoot and Dennis, along with Mats Rits, both had chances to double the lead.

The visitors were really struggling to put together any clear-cut chances but as it turned out, Brugge were willing to gift them one. Maxim De Cuyper's throw caught Brandon Mechele off guard and Martial raced onto it before slotting past Simon Mignolet.

Martial nearly grabbed a second, shooting from range, but Mignolet produced a fine save to tip it onto the post.

Dennis continued to cause problems for the United backline in the second half and Romero had to be on guard to beat away his near-post effort.

Ighalo finally got his chance to impress with 20 minutes to go, replacing Martial, but the Nigerian was starved of service up top.

Brugge had a golden chance to win it late on when Dennis' low cross found Odilon Kossounou but the defender somehow struck wide. Fernandes entered the fray and nearly set up Juan Mata for a late winner but the offside flag was raised.

United kept the pressure up late on but were unable to find a winner, although the away goal puts them in control ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford.
