In what is becoming a recurring theme this season, Manchester United set an unwanted record against Fenerbahce , last night in their 2-1 Europa League loss.

The poor showing in Istanbul was United's fifth consecutive away defeat in Europe, a first for the club in continental competition.

The Fenerbahce result followed defeats to Feyernoord,Liverpool,Midtjylland and Wolfsburg and leaves Jose Mourinho's team in a precarious position in their Europa League group, with six points from four games, a point behind Feyernoord and Fenerbahce.

If United are to advance to the knockout stages of the competition, they will need to rectify their poor away form when they travel to Ukraine to play Zorya Luhansk.
