Fans annoyed as Manchester United concede a late goal against AC Milan in the Europa League
Manchester United were minutes away from completing what would have been an excellent first leg in their Europa League clash against AC Milan.
Substitute Amad Diallo gave the Red Devils the lead in the 50th minute, something they held on to until the final minuted. Unfortunately, the defence switched off and Simon Kjaer grabbed the all-important away goal for the Italians.
While Dean Henderson could have done better, the fact remains that we have surrendered the advantage going into the second leg. We have once again shot ourselves in the foot, handing the initiative back to our rivals having held the upper hand.
The Red Devils also lost Anthony Martial to an injury in what was a forgetful night for the striking department. With Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani also nursing injuries, it remains to be seen if the likes of Diallo will be afforded more opportunities in the coming matches.
Fans were unhappy with the way United conceded the equalizer and took to Twitter to express their frustration. We take a look at a few of them below.

Henderson should save that header, but why is Kjaer allowed the chance? Matic was marking him and just let him run on to the ball…
