Manchester United's attacking problems continued as it lost to Fenerbahce 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday, leaving it at risk of a group-stage exit. United beat Fenerbahce 4-1 at Old Trafford a fortnight ago, but arrived in Turkey after drawing with Burnley 0-0, during which it dominated and had 37 chances. Again, Jose Mourinho's side failed to convert a glut of possession into goals, but this time it also struggled to create opportunities, although its attacking intent increased briefly after Zlatan Ibrahimovic replaced the injured Paul Pogba half an hour in.
