The Red Devils took the lead with a first-half strike from Christian Eriksen, who displayed his usual composure to break the deadlock, per the BBC.
However, Sam Lammers delivered a blow to United’s ambitions with a well-taken finish to level the scores, benefitting from somewhat questionable defending.
According to Sky Sports, the draw means United has managed just one victory in their last nine European fixtures under Ten Hag.
The unenviable record has fueled discontent among fans.
With these results casting a shadow over the season, calls for the manager’s dismissal have intensified.
