[VIDEO] Europa League: Man United held 1-1 by Club Brugge

Manchester United fans would not believe their team could only drew 1-1 with Belgian club, Club Brugge in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 32 in Belgium.

The Red Devils surprisingly trailing early as Emmanuel Dennis lobbed Sergio Romero in the 15th minute.

United manage to equalise when Anthony Martial beat former Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet one-on-one in 36th minute.

But both side were unable to break the deadlock as they finish with 1-1, with advantage toward Man United going to Old Trafford for the second leg.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not satisfied with the results.

“I don’t think it was one of the best games anyone’s seen,” Solskjaer said to BBC.

“It was a difficult game against a well-organised team in difficult conditions.

“We got an away goal, we got a draw. We go home next week so hopefully we can finish the job.”

What Solskjaer said is true, as the game was played in heavy rain and strong wind for large periods of time.

“I think you can ask any of the players, that ball doesn’t help anyone play football,” Solskjaer said.

“It’s just different and difficult to play with. You can get one and try!

“But it’s the same for the two teams, of course. But the conditions weren’t nice, the wind and the rain.”

The two sides will meet again at Old Trafford on 27 February.
