Feyenoord stunned Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, handing the English giant a second loss in less than a week. For Feyenoord, it was just more of the same - Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team has won all five of its Dutch league matches. Midfielder Tonny Trindade de Vilhena broke the deadlock in a tight Group A match when he side-footed the ball just inside David de Gea's right-hand post in the 79th minute, after running onto a cutback from the right by Nicolai Jorgenson.
