Manchester United endured another evening to forget on Thursday as the club suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fenerbahce in the Europa League.

The Red Devils entered the game having found the target just once in their previous three outings, and their struggles in front of goal continued in Istanbul.

Wayne Rooney was able to net his first since the opening day of the season, but a spectacular 25-yeard effort from the England captain came too late to salvage anything from the tie.

Mou has a real job on at Man Utd

Jose Mourinho will be growing increasingly agitated at his side’s failure to spark in the final third, but he also appears to have left his shooting boots behind in midweek.

Ahead of a game, which saw United have 70 percent of the possession and fire in another nine efforts, of which only three were on target, the Portuguese coach tried his hand at the crossbar challenge.

It is fair to say he shouldn’t give up the day job, with some rather woeful attempts setting the tone for what was to follow.

United will have another opportunity to start righting the wrongs before the next international break, with Mourinho taking his troops to Swansea City for a Premier League encounter on Sunday.
