Fenerbahce compound Mourinho woes as Manchester United lose in Istanbul to leave them with an uphill battle to progress
Turkish side extend the woes of Red Devils and their manager with a 2-1 victory in the Europa League that ruthlessly exposes the shortcomings of the Premier League giants
Fenerbahce compounded the woes of Manchester United and their manager Jose Mourinho with a 2-1 victory in the Europa League that ruthlessly exposed the shortcomings of the Premier League giants.
Roared on by home fans in their 50,000 capacity stadium on the Asian side of Istanbul, Fenerbahce produced a stunning performance capped by a brilliant Moussa Sow bicycle-kick goal and a Jeremain Lens free-kick.
Wayne Rooney managed to pull a goal back to create a tense final few minutes but it did nothing to brighten a miserable night for United.
United now face a tense three-way battle for qualification from group A with Fenerbahce and Feyenoord who they now trail by one point after four games played.

Even more crucially, United must resurrect their form in the Premier League going into a crucial clash with relegation-threatened Swansea on Sunday after a bruising 4-0 defeat by Chelsea and a nervy 0-0 draw with Burnley.
