Manchester United have a mixed bag of fixtures to come after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League.
The Reds got off to a perfect start in Portugal as Marcus Rashford cut inside from the left-hand side to fire a strike which beat Diogo Costa at his near post. A bad night for the Portuguese goalkeeper became worse as Rasmus Hojlund managed to squeeze a shot underneath him on 20 minutes.
Erik ten Hag's men were pegged back when their confidence was flowing though as Pepe followed up from Andre Onana's good save to make it 2-1. And it was all level again less than ten minutes later as Samu Omorodion beat Matthijs de Ligt from a cross which found the roof of the net.
Incredibly the collapse was completed five minutes into the second half as Omorodion bagged his brace as the defensive line was caught napping. Bruno Fernandes was then sent off with less than ten minutes remaining which looked to have sealed defeat but up stepped Harry Maguire in stoppage time to power a header in and secure a point.
With a crucial run of matches ahead for the Reds, MEN Sport has taken a look at how their next five fixtures stack up to their top-four rivals either side of the October international break.
United's next five fixtures
Aston Villa (A) - October 6 - Premier League
Brentford (H) - October 19 - Premier League
Fenerbahce (A) - October 24 - Europa League
West Ham United (A) - October 27 - Premier League
Leicester City (H) - October 30 - Carabao Cup
MEN Sport's verdict: Sadly in their current predicament no game is easy for the Reds but they will be hoping they can capitalise on Villa suffering 'After the Lord Mayor's Show' syndrome on Sunday at Villa Park. Unai Emery's side will be full of confidence after defeating Bayern Munich but United will be desperate for a result after their start to the season. Victories over Brentford and West Ham in the Premier League won't necessarily save Ten Hag but will likely cost him his position at Old Trafford if they fall to defeat. Meanwhile, a reunion with Jose Mourinho may be the last thing the Reds need in the precarious place they find themselves in.
