Manchester United fans were left calling for Louis van Gaal to be sacked after witnessing one of the club's most embarrassing ever defeats .
The Red Devils lost 2-1 to Danish side Midtjylland in the first leg of their Round of 32 Europa League meeting.
The Premier League side had been expected to cruise past the Danish minnows, however they may feel fortunate to have departed Scandinavia with the tie as closely balanced as it is.
Memphis Depay opened the scoring but the visiting team then saw Sisto equalise just before half-time before Paul Onuachu struck the winner.
The travelling fans made their feelings about the performance clear, while those at home voiced their anger on Twitter.
Manager Van Gaal bore the brunt of frustration, with many calling for the Dutchman to be sacked...

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Donald Love - 4 out of 10 A difficult evening for the youngster, who particularly struggled in the first half. Thankfully for Love, Louis van Gaal does not seem to make snap decisions on young players if they have a game to forget.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Chris Smalling - 6 out of 10 Rarely made individual errors but should have shown more authority playing alongside two juniors. Blame for the backline's disorganisation lies at his door.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Paddy McNair - 5 out of 10 Ran ragged by the opposition too often. The question of whether he will make the grade at Old Trafford should, by now, have been answered.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Daley Blind - 6 out of 10 The soundest of a shaky defence and probed down the left on occasion too.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Ander Herrera - 5 out of 10 Once again, far too awkward and error-prone when playing at the base of midfield. A player still without a defined role in this team. Replaced by Morgan Schneiderlin.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Michael Carrick - 5 out of 10 A lethargic performance. His error led to Midtjylland's equaliser.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Jesse Lingard - 8 out of 10 The brightest spark in a rather dull display. All good things flowed through the winger, who hit the bar in the second half.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Juan Mata - 4 out of 10 Operating behind the striker was supposed to bring out the best in the Spaniard but he seems as inconsistent 'in the hole' as he does out wide. Gutless in the build-up to the home side's second.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Memphis Depay - 6 out of 10 He may still have copped a lot of flak on social media but it was one of the winger's better evenings. Perhaps that's not saying much but something to build on, at least.

Midtjylland 2 Manchester United 1 player ratings Anthony Martial - 5 out of 10 A quiet display, the kind he has often got away with this season. As United's main goal threat, should have made more of an impact tonight.
