I spotted Man United moment that proves Marcus Rashford's season is just getting started vs Twente
Manchester United's start to their Europa League campaign didn't quite go to plan on Wednesday night. Erik ten Hag's men failed to make the most of their superior quality and were held to a 1-1 draw.
Christian Eriksen was the man for the action with a goal in the first-half and mistake for Twente's goal. The midfielder's turn in his own half allowed Sam Lammers to capitalise and strike past Andre Onana after the Dane's thunderbolt had excellently put his side in the lead.
Frustrations grew in Old Trafford as United threw everything for a winner. Goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall was the hero for Twente with a brilliant reaction save in the latter stages.

In an all-round frustrating evening for United, MEN Sport brings you moments you may have missed from Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Steve McClaren tribute for services
The game at Old Trafford was not only special for Ten Hag but for former United assistant manager Steve McClaren. The 63-year-old left the Red Devils in the summer to return to management as the national coach of Jamaica.
McClaren spent two seasons with Ten Hag after previously working with Sir Alex Ferguson at United. However, he also enjoyed a successful spell with Twente in 2008. In his second season at the Dutch giants, McClaren won the club their first-ever Eredivisie title, becoming the first Englishman to manage a team to a top-level domestic league title since Bobby Robson.
On Thursday, McClaren was back in Manchester and was introduced to both sets of fans before kick-off. Sir Alex Ferguson and former Twente player Wout Brame joined him on the pitch to present him with a shield to acknowledge his services for the two clubs.
The Twente fans greeted the Jamaica boss with a huge roar to show their appreciation for his time in charge of the club.
Rashford showing signs of returning to best
Ten Hag put Rashford back into the starting line-up after he dropped to the bench against Crystal Palace at the weekend. Before then, he had scored twice in three games.
Against Twente, especially in the first-half, he looked back to his very best. He skinned the right-back on a number of occasions and produced an excellent piece of skill to nutmeg the defender.
When Eriksen put United ahead, the forward was the first to join the midfielder to celebrate. Unlike games gone, Rashford had a huge smile on his face.
He may have failed to help United win but Rashford looked like he's finally back to his best.
"Defend, defend, defend"
Those inside the stadium won't know this but on TNT Sports' coverage of the game, former United star Owen Hargreaves revealed that Ten Hag told Alejandro Garnacho to "defend, defend, defend" when he came on in the 67th minute.
Ironically, Twente scored in the 68th minute after Eriksen's mistake. Garnacho's instruction then turned to attacking in search of a winner for United. Unfortunately, it didn't come.
Nevertheless, it's quite telling.
