By Toby Davis LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United's first appearance in the Europa League group stage ended in disappointment after Feyenoord's Tonny Trindade applied a slide-rule finish late in the second half to secure a 1-0 win on Thursday. Europe's second-tier contest began in earnest with three times continental champions United topping the bill in Group A, but Jose Mourinho's side were undone after a poor display in which clearcut chances were at a premium. It was a different story in Israel where there were goals galore in Maccabi Tel Aviv's game against Zenit St Petersburg with the Russian club fighting back from 3-0 down to win 4-3 with all their goals coming from the 77th minute onwards.
